Rock Crawler Series 51

So I'm thinking these will be sweet on my truck. 01 Ram 1500 4x4
15x8 with 5 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern, Backspace 3.75 - Flat Black.
Should fit right?

 

[MagSport]

Yup, they'll fit. Those look pretty good too.

HOLD UP! Are they steel or alloy? Alloy 15s won't fit an 01

All steel. I like em steel. Wanna buy my Aluminum's? $300. LOL.

 

[Jimmy68]

These are $300. I found 1995 F-150 wheels. $100. Bolt on ok but how about hub center?

 

[dapepper9]

Fords used 5x135mm pattern to our 5x139.7mm. Also i believe they had smaller hubs

Ford is 5 on 5 1/2.
Ford as been that for many many years. From the 70's. Maybe the 60's. Ford and Dodge have shared that pattern and the 5 on 4 1/2 for a long long time.

I'm just not sure if the Ford center is bigger or smaller than Dodge on this application. Both of which can be fixed.

Suppose if I hear back from the owner the only real thing i need to know is back spacing.

Ya. 60's. My 66 Merc had 5 on 5 1/2.
My 67 Falcon had 5 on 4 1/2.
I remember running Dodge wheels on them at times.

 

[dapepper9]

Yes they have. But the metric conversion is 4.7mm bigger on dodge. Ive personally tried to mount ford rims on a dodge and they don't fit without modification

Ford
1954 - 1995 5X5.5" (5X139.7mm)
1996 - 2004 5X134mm
(114mm is the 4.5" car pattern)

So were both right. The 95's down will fit but the 96's up won't.

Ah. That explains it. Wheels i tried were from a 97

not true,, i ran them b4 no probs

 

[dapepper9]

They generally won't clear the dual piston calipers. A few kinds might but the very vast majority won't

 

[ramburger]

They generally won't clear the dial piston calipers. A few kinds might but the very vast majority won't

yup, jus tryin to not be misleadin thasall

 

[Jimmy68]

Well, some will, some won't, some do, some don't.
Offset and thickness plays a big role.
Ask any lady. The thickness counts.
