Will jeep cherokee wheels fit a dodge ram 1500?

It's unlikely that Jeep Cherokee wheels will fit a Dodge Ram 1500 without modifications, and even then it might not be safe. While both are made by Stellantis (formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles), the bolt patterns, wheel offsets, and overall wheel diameter/width are very different between the two vehicles. The Ram 1500 is a much larger, heavier truck requiring wheels and tires designed to handle significantly more weight and torque.

To know for sure, you need to compare the following specifications for both the Jeep Cherokee wheels and the Dodge Ram 1500:

* Bolt Pattern (PCD): This refers to the number of lug nuts and the diameter of the circle they form. These *must* match.

* Wheel Offset: This determines how far the wheel mounts in or out from the hub. Significant differences can cause rubbing or clearance issues.

* Center Bore: The size of the hole in the center of the wheel that fits over the hub. This should be the same or slightly larger (with a centering ring).

* Wheel Diameter and Width: The Ram 1500 typically has much larger diameter and wider wheels than a Cherokee to accommodate larger tires needed for its size and weight.

Even if the bolt pattern matches (which is unlikely), differences in offset and diameter will likely make the Cherokee wheels unsuitable and potentially unsafe for use on a Ram 1500. Using improperly fitted wheels can lead to serious safety hazards. Always consult a tire professional or your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you are using the correct wheels and tires for your Dodge Ram 1500.
