So as I continue to plan out the Ram build I have gotten to wheels and tires I am looking at AEV for wheels as I want to go down to a 17" wheel from the factory 18"s I will mostlikley be going with 35s until I can do the AEV lift, gears and lockers in a year or two then will move up to 40s. I will be getting a total of 6 wheels so I will have 2 spares. my question is are there any other wheels I should look at? 8 lug wheels are not as easy to find lol and what tires would you recommend? I need at least a load range E tire

I would strongly consider 18 inch wheel if payload capacity matters to you. You don’t have many options for and E rated tire 37 or bigger on 17s.
If you don’t plan on going bigger than 35s, 17s are fine.
Look at some of Method wheels. You will want something in the 0 to +18 offset range. That way you can run up to a 37 with just a leveling kit and minor plastic trimming.

My vote on tire would be the Toyo RTs. I’ve got about 15k miles on them and they are very quiet on the highway. for an aggressive tire. The thread looks like I should get another 20-25k before I need to think about changing them. Also, those tires in 35-12.5 if in the factory spare tire location if you air it down an fight it in there.
