* Bolt Pattern (PCD): This refers to the number of lug nuts and the diameter of the circle they form. These MUST match exactly.
* Wheel Offset: This is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the center line of the wheel. A significant difference in offset can cause clearance issues with the suspension, brakes, or fenders.
* Wheel Diameter: While a larger diameter wheel *might* fit, it will change the overall diameter of the tire and could affect speedometer accuracy, rubbing, and potentially require different suspension components. A smaller diameter is generally less problematic.
* Hub Bore: The size of the center hole in the wheel. This needs to be the correct size to fit over the hub of the Ram 1500.
You can find this information:
* On the wheels themselves: Often stamped directly onto the wheel.
* In the owner's manuals: For both vehicles.
* Online: Search for "[Year] [Make] [Model] wheel specs" for both the Durango and Ram 1500. Websites like Tire Rack are helpful.
Unless you verify that all four specifications match perfectly, do not assume the wheels will fit. Incorrect wheels can be dangerous and lead to damage to your vehicle.
