Wheel and tires

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. A 17x9-inch rim could fit your Ram 2500 van, but there are a few factors to consider to avoid potential issues. Going from the OEM 16x6.5-inch rim to a 17x9-inch rim could lead to tire rubbing, especially during turns or with a load. You'll need to ensure the new rim's offset or backspacing provides sufficient clearance. Additionally, a wider rim might require low-profile tires to prevent rubbing, which can impact ride comfort. To be sure, consult a wheel and tire specialist to verify fitment. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
