Right now 3rd Gen Rams with 20 inch wheels have much higher theft rates than any other pickups,
so high that Rams are now in the top 10 of stolen vehicle makes.

Police report this is because the 5 on 5.5 lug pattern can be easily adapted onto other vehicles compared to Ford's mm spacing and GM six lug.

My friends down at the dealer tells me they change out more ball joints and suspension parts on trucks with 20's than they do with 17's. Which is the reason I opted for the 17's when I bought my truck. Now I'm going with 18's on 35x13.5 tires.

Ford has changed its 5 hole wheel bolt pattern so that it is now 1mm different than the old standard 5 on 5.5 inches, so be careful.
