2013 Dodge Ram 1500 bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 is 5x5—which is to say that each of its wheels has five bolts arranged in a circle with a 5-inch diameter.

Bolt patterns will always be expressed in this same format, where the first number indicates the number of bolts and the second number indicates the diameter of the circle that they form.

In addition to the bolt pattern, you'll also need to know the correct center bore, tightening torque, stud size, and wheel offset for your Ram. Any replacement rims you buy will have to match all of these specifications in order to fit.

Here's a breakdown of that information for the 2013 Dodge Ram 1500:

How to measure your Dodge Ram 1500’s bolt pattern

All the measurements that you need for your Dodge Ram 1500’s rim size and bolt pattern are listed above. However, if you ever need to quickly determine the bolt pattern on another vehicle, there's an easy way to measure it.

Using a measuring tape or ruler, measure the length from the outer edge of any bolt hole to the center of the opposite bolt. On vehicles like the Ram 1500 where there are an odd number of bolts, you obviously won’t run directly into another bolt by measuring straight across. That's fine—just measure directly across to the spot where a bolt would be.
