What Wheels And Tires Best Fit A 5th Gen Ram 1500? (2019-2026)
Stock trucks suck. Fix yours.
The DT-platform Ram is a half-ton truck that offers huge aggressive fitment potential, with coil rear suspension, huge wells, and smaller factory offset numbers than Ford or GM. It is also a truck with a ton of potential issues to consider, and it has nothing to do with wheels. It has to do with which Ram you actually own.
Bolt Pattern And Factory Specs
| Bolt Pattern | 6x5.5" (6x139.7mm) |
|---|---|
| Hub Bore | 77.8mm |
| Lug | M14 x 1.5 nut |
| Lug Torque | 130 lb-ft |
| Stud Length | 35mm |
| TPMS | Yes |
| Factory Reference (18") | 18x8 +17mm, 275/65R18 (5.17" backspacing) |
| Factory Reference (20") | 20x9 +18mm, 275/55R20 (5.71" backspacing) |
Factory offsets of +17 and +18 are the smallest in the class, which is why a stock Ram already looks flush where competitors don't. It also means the jump to aggressive offsets is smaller here than on any other half-ton. The hub bore is 77.8mm, close to GM 78.1 but not the same, so hub-centric rings matter if a wheel was bored for the Chevy.
Recommended Fitments
The Ram rewards going bigger sooner. Easy fitments on this truck run sizes that count as aggressive on other platforms.
| Suspension | Easy Fitment | Aggressive Fitment |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 20x9 +18 to +32, 275/60R20 | 20x10 -25 to -12, 33x12.50 |
| Leveling Kit | 20x10 -19 to -5, 33x12.50 | 20x12 -51 to -38, 33x12.50 |
| 4" Lift | 20x10 -25 to -12, 35x12.50 | 20x12 -55 to -44, 35x12.50 |
| 6" Lift | 20x12 -44 to -32, 35x12.50 | 24x14 -81 to -69, 35x13.50 |
A 33x12.50 on a 20x10 -18 with zero suspension work. No other half-ton in this guide series does that. Expect liner contact at full lock.
33s become the default. The 20x12 -44 combo is pure stance, although you'll need to trim the body to avoid any rubbing issues. Shop leveling kits.
35s bolt on here. The 20x10 -18 with a 35x12.50 is the sweet spot of this entire platform, big tire, drivable geometry, minimal cutting. Shop 4-inch lift kits.
The 24x14 -76 on a 35x13.50 is as aggressive as published half-ton fitment gets. Trimming required, and worth saying plainly: at -76 you are choosing the show lane over the tow lane.
