hi, ive got a 2008 ram and recently purchased wheels i was told to fit. ive since learned alot about lug patterns and turns out 5 lug dodge car wheels dont fit 5 lug truck. i was told ithey came off 2006 charger, can someone tell me what size adapter i will need and do i need to have them put on or can i do myself?

 

I dont know if all rims are made the same. That Charger weighs nothing compared to the Ram. Truck rims (usually) have more lugs and the weight is spread out over more center mass on the rim. I am unsure I would trust them. One pothole and crack, crack,crack.

I have never done it though. A wiser entity will chime in

 

thanks no one has mentioned that to me yet. i geuss ill just have to try and get rid of them

 

I believe the charger rims are 5x4.5 and a 1500 is 5x5.5. Ideally you want a rim that's 9" wide but never less than 8". I'm not sure what size rims you have but I'd sell them and buy a set of 5x5.5 and not deal with spacers or hub adapters. Some run them with no trouble at all but with all the money you spend to make them fit, they still could fail and cause serious injury. Spend that money on rims that fit and are designed for your truck and you'll be much safer and happier in the long run.

 

Wheel adapters have been known to fail and I've personally seen one that did and the wheel/tire came right off on the guy in rush hour traffic.

Sell the wheels and buy a set that fit your truck...

 

What about the load rating on the charger wheels. Is it enough for the truck. or will you cracked a wheel.

 

LOL......Ill sell you my 24s off my truck. Seriously

 

Thank u all am trying to sell

 

I've been running 2" thick adapters on my ram (24s with 40" tires) for two years now and haven't had a single problem. HOWEVER take note that these were custom machined out of solid billet and i'm running ARP studs.
