UPDATE: Well I found some new take off 275/70/18E's from a 2015 Ram 2500 for a heck of a price on Craig's list.
I'm going to make the change but I now have another question:
A spare doesn't come in the deal so is it alright to use my current 17" spare? I called a tire dealer and they said it wouldn't be an issue if I didn't run it in 4 wheel drive.
anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks again for the help!!

Why can't you just get a new tire on your spare to match the diameter of the 18-inchers. The 17" wheel is not the problem, it is ultimately the sizing difference of tire's diameter. As long as they all stand the same height it would not be a problem regardless of where the "spare" was placed.

Actually, "truck" tires are 19.5", not 18". Rickson tires will sell you the wheels, and a variety of 19.5 truck tires, as well as programing your computer to compansate for the larger tires. They claim 8 plus years on a set of tires!

I read recently how 17" tires may be going to be a thing of the past--with 18" tires preferable for trucks. You will still be able to get 17" tires, but just not so many brands and models.
I don't think you could go wrong if you need tires now, and if you can buy wheels for a fair price. There are a number of regional wheel reconditioners online that are buying all sizes and types of wheels from salvage yards.
I bought an 18" very wide wheel for my Lexus IS from a dealer in Atlanta for 1/4th the cost of a new one.
