2018 Ram 1500 bolt pattern

The 2018 Ram 1500 has a 5x5 bolt pattern—which is also called "5 on 5." But don't be concerned if you've never worked with bolt patterns before and have no idea what those numbers signify. Each bolt (or lug) pattern can be reduced to the following equation:

# of bolts x the diameter of the circle they form

A 5x5 bolt pattern simply means that each wheel has five bolts arranged in a five-inch diameter circle.

This measurement is important to know if you want to replace the wheels on your 2018 Ram 1500, but there are other details to consider as well. More information on the Ram 1500 is provided below:

Factory wheel size: 16”, 17”, 20”, 22”

How to measure your 2018 Ram 1500’s bolt pattern

You can easily determine the Ram 1500's bolt pattern without any special tools—all you need is a measuring tape!

Using a tape measure or a ruler, measure the distance from the lug hole's outer edge to the center of the following bolt. You will find yourself in between bolts when taking a straight across measurement of the wheels because of the truck's odd number of bolts. You can avoid this by shifting your measuring point to the center of the following bolt.

The diameter you need will be the same as the number you measure. Add that number to the number of bolts to determine the bolt pattern for your 2018 Ram 1500.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
