2014 Ram wheel FIT on a 2005 Ram?

[SumpChump]

Just triple checking guys. I have a 2005 ram 1500 SLT four-wheel-drive and I am putting 2015 factory alloy 20 inch rims on the 2005. Everything seems to be feeling fine. 20 inch alloy rims are what came off of the 2005. Ret I have a 2005 ram 1500 SLT four-wheel-drive and I am putting 2015 factory alloy 20 inch rims on the 2005.

Just triple checking that there isn’t some kind of offset or specification that’s different from 2005 to 2015.

I was able to use the spare from a circa 2008 Ram 1500 on my old 2011 1500. Should still be the old 5 bolt pattern.

I don’t see why not, same 5 lug pattern. The off set may even be the same still or within a couple millimeters.

I don't think backspacing matters all that much as long as they don't rub.

The thing to think about is the lug nuts. If you're using the 2005 lug nuts, are they tapered the same way? Might need to buy 2014 lug nuts if they're different.

The 2014 lug nuts wouldnt go on so I assume they changed thread pitch. The lug nut cone angle was the same. The tipy tip was just a tad different. So I nust used the 2005 lug nuts.

Think I’m good to go?

according to wheel-size.com, bolt circle is the same (5x139.7) and offsets are the same (16" and 17" wheels, 25.4mm, 20" and 22" wheels 19.1mm). The lugs changed from 9/16" x 18tpi to 14mm x 1.5mm pitch.
