I would not use those. IF you are going to run a spacer on a Ram spend more money to get a hub centric wheel spacer. I'm sure you will get lots of info from guys who have used both. There are many threads on here about spacers, they are worth reading before you decide.

I ran 1/4" s[pacers for a year, when I took them off I could tell they had moved around a bit. I agree, once i saw that I ordered my BORA Hubcentric spacers. no more Amazon specials for this kid
They take a while as they are made to order, the cats over at Custom Offsets are awesome

The biggest concern I would worry about is - with half inch spacers and the width of the new wheel mounting flange, do you still have enough stud sticking out to get enough turns on the lug nuts.

I just discovered that the previous owner of my truck installed 1/4" slip on spacers on the front. Even with them only being 1/4", they push the wheel out far enough that it won't properly seat on the centering ring on the hub. With a 1/2" spacer, you'll be well past the centering ring.
I discovered the spacers after hitting a pot hole and developing a "shimmy". Thought I had lost a balance weight, or messed up the alignment. Turns out the spacer allowed the rim to shift slightly off center from the hub.
