2006 Dodge Ram 1500 bolt pattern

Dodge lug patterns

vary depending on the model, but the Dodge Ram has a 5x5.5 bolt pattern up until 2009, which was the last year the Dodge Ram was manufactured. After 2009, Dodge and Ram became two separate brands.

If you’re not sure what these numbers mean, no worries! Here’s an easy explanation:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

So, for your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 5x5.5 lug pattern, each wheel has five lugs forming a five-and-a-half-inch diameter circle.

While knowing your bolt pattern is important, there are a few other wheel specs you’ll need, like the wheel offset, OEM wheel size, stud size, center bore, and torque specifications.

Factory wheel size: 17”, 20”

Stud size: 9/16” x 18

Offset: 10 to 20mm

Center bore: 77.8mm

Wheel tightening torque: N/A

How to measure your Dodge Ram 1500’s bolt pattern

Even though we’ve done all the work for you, you still may be wondering how we got the bolt pattern. Luckily, it’s pretty easy to measure!

If you want to find your 2006 Dodge Ram 1500’s bolt pattern—or any other vehicle—you’ll need a measuring tape or ruler.

Once you have that, you’ll want to measure from one of the five bolts on your wheel to the center of the opposite bolt. Since your Ram 1500 has an uneven number, you’ll end up between two bolts. That’s okay! You can choose whichever one you like and measure to the center of it.

Whatever the number you get from this measurement is your diameter, so combined with the number of bolts, that’s your bolt pattern.
