5-Stud Ram 1500 Wheels And Tyres Fitment:

1. Wheel Size: The 5-stud Ram 1500 models typically require wheels with a diameter ranging from 17 to 22 inches. However, the most common wheel sizes are 18 inches and 20 inches, providing a balance between style and performance.
2. Wheel Width: For optimal fitment, consider wheel widths within the range of 8 to 10 inches. These widths strike a balance between ensuring sufficient tyre support and maintaining steering response.
3. Offset: An offset between -24mm and +25mm is commonly recommended for 5-stud Ram 1500 fitments (depending on the wheel width). This offset allows the wheels to sit more towards the centerline of the vehicle, maintaining stability and preventing interference with suspension components.
4. Tyre Sizes: Suitable tyre sizes for 5-stud Ram 1500 models include:

• 275/65R18
• 35×12.5R18
• 285/60R20
