Left side offset vs. Right side offset

Stevant · Feb 24, 2013

I just purchased a 2011 Ram 1500 Big Horn, certified from Dodge. It only has 17,000 miles on her with a clean car fax, no accidents. It is pretty obvious when you look down each side of the truck that the tire offset is different. The left side sticks out a good 1/2" more than the right. Maybe more. It is consistent front and back. I checked for wheel spacers and there are none. Any idea why this is? Am I too critical here? Maybe I need therapy, but it is not the same. I feel it should be...................???????????? Do they make different offsets on their wheels? They are stock wheels.

Not sure about different offset stock wheels. This may be a dumb question but are the tire widths the same on both sides?

4X4 truck, front or back or both?

4x2 truck, all tire sizes the same all around. Same exact tires in fact.

Stevant · Feb 24, 2013

Front and back, equal too. It's as if the truck is shifted to the left about a 3/4"...........

I'm with bluesmoke, measure rim backspacing see if there is a differance. Maybe the previous owner bent the wheels,or replaced the factory ones who knows.

This is a chassis on frame construction, is it possible it needs to be loosened up and tightened back down? Is that a possibility?

if they are stock wheels there is no way the offset is differnt. i would think the cab and bed are not centered

All of them are offset in the rear....Dodge did a ****** job on the panhard bar length.

This.

I've noticed my rear end doesn't sit perfectly in the middle either. ********.

The offset is a common occurance on ram trucks. I work on these trucks new everyday and have notice the same thing. If you think the truck was wrecked or something, it's doubtful.
