2016 Dodge Rebel rims...fit a 2003 Ram van 1500? #752193 September 05th 2019 12:35 am | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 6 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 6 | Found a decent deal on a set of unused 2016 Ram Rebel rims. The bolt pattern and hub bore are identical. The rebel rims are 17 x 8. My 2003 currently has stock 235/75/15. I have a set of 255/40/17 tires that are new that I can use.
I have done a bit of searching and have not found any 17†4th gen 1500 wheel vs 2003 Ram van 1500 information.
Any insight? Has anyone ever attempted this?
I have to jump on this rebel rim deal in the mornin.

One thing to note is that your tire size is going to be fairly small. Stock 235/75/15 diameter is 28.5†and your 255/40/17 is only around 25â€.

Looks like the backspacing is close to what our vans are (5.21 and I think the vans are usually 5.5), and they are only an inch wider than the factory 15x7 van rims.

But upgrading to the 17" rim is a good call as it's getting harder to find some15" rim tire sizes. - Rich

Mainly because of having to buy tires brought the total cost to a point of having many more options.
My van came with two new tires on the front so I will just paint the stock rims and buy matching new tires for the rear.
I was surprised to see that my van came with 245/75r16 stock rather than 235/75r15.
After I get all the minor mechanical issues sorted out along with a freshening up the interior...I will revisit getting aftermarket rims. | | |
