Hi, didn't' see anything in the FAQ. Will 17" stock steel 05 Dodge Ram rims fit on a 97 1500? I did some research and although the bolt pattern is the same, looks like 02 and up have diff backspace, so won't work correct? Thanks!

69 Coronet R/T
97 Ram 1500 318

 

welcome!! should fit, front may need spacers and backspace is personal preference. may need smaller or narrower tires tho

 

Ok I have not tried it but I have seen the newer 17's on a 2nd gen is your truck 2wd or 4wd

 

Mine is a 97 4x4. I just got it.

 

Thanks both! BTW, My white bumper was smashed, so I'm getting a chrome one from the junkyard. Chrome should fit fine correct? Was the chrome an upgrade...looks nice on yours!

 

either someone painted yours or you have a sport...chrome will fit

 

Yeah on a 4x4 you should not have a problem and post some pics of the truck

 

i had to get new wheels for mine thanks to a lovely encounter with and old lady lol but i got stock 17's steels from an 2010 with brand new rubber and they bolted up fine and no problems

 

I got the 4 steel rims from a 2004 RAM 17" and they fit fine! Thanks :-)

 

That's good news that 03+ 1500 wheels will bolt up to 2nd gen 1500's! I'm looking for a set of 17's currently, where are you guys finding your's?
