Default 2005 Ram Wheel Bolt Pattern

I finally found the truck I want, a 2005 Daytona 4x4, but I do have one concern with it... The aftermarket wheels and tires on it. They look amazing on it and give it an aggressive stance BUT, I do a lot of driving on the beach and thus would not be ideal for my particular needs during the long surf fishing season. Now, I do have 2 complete sets of 5 lug wheels from my 2005 Wrangler Rubicon; 5 of the stock Moab wheels wrapped in stock sized road tires (not the Rubi mud terrains), and 5 after market 16" Dick Cepeks with 33x12.5" tucked inside 33x12.5" Pro Comp A/Ts. Now, I'll have to get rid of one of these sets of tires during the sale of the Jeep, but my question is, will either set work with the Ram?

-Will the stock Jeep wheel bolt pattern work with the Ram?

-Will the Cepeks work with the Dodge and will the 33s even fit without a lift or level kit?

Thanks

The jeep is the wrong pattern. The 1500 uses on 5 x 5.5 and you need at least a 17" rim to clear the brake caliper.

In addition to Rubberfrogs perfectly accurate answer, your Jeep bolt pattern is 5 on 5" so as he stated, they are a no go.

33x12.5s are about the max you can fit on that truck at stock height with no rubbing. I ran them on both the stock 17" wheels and my Mickey Classic IIs with no issue before I lifted and went to 35s...

haha. This actually really helps me as well. I'm selling a pair of 8 lug 22" aftermarket wheels and tires for my dad that came off his Silverado 2500. I had a few inquiries about whether or not they'd fit Dodge and Ford trucks. The Chevy runs the same pattern as the Dodge

Anyway, back on topic, does anyone know of a good site to get a set of stock Ram 1500 wheels for a good price other than the usual ebay or craigslist? New or used.

question #1. Why would you want to buy a stock rim when there's so many aftermarket rims for less money that are sooooo much better?

question #2. What size would you be looking for? 17" or 20"? Do you want show/road or do you want something like off road functionality you would get out of the 17's?

I think you meant 5 on 4.5" on the Jeep. The new 07+ JK Jeeps are the same as the 1/2 ton Dodges, but the older ones are a little smaller....but like Rubberfrog said, the wheel is too small anyhow.
