What is the stock rim size on a RAM 1500?

The standard stock rim size for a RAM 1500 pickup truck is 17 inches. This is the most common wheel size that comes factory-installed on the RAM 1500 across its various trim levels and configurations.


Detailed Overview of RAM 1500 Rim Sizes


The RAM 1500 is available with a range of wheel and rim sizes, but the 17-inch rim is the standard offering. Depending on the specific model year, trim level, and optional equipment, the RAM 1500 can be equipped with the following rim sizes:



  • 17-inch standard steel or alloy wheels

  • 18-inch alloy wheels

  • 20-inch alloy wheels

  • 22-inch alloy wheels (available on higher trim levels)


The 17-inch rim size provides a good balance of ride comfort, handling, and off-road capability for the RAM 1500. Larger rim sizes like 20 or 22 inches are typically found on more premium, luxury-oriented trims and can improve the truck's on-road performance and appearance, but may come at the expense of some ride quality and fuel efficiency.


Customizing Rim Sizes on the RAM 1500


While the 17-inch rim is the standard factory size, many RAM 1500 owners choose to upgrade to larger aftermarket wheels and tires to personalize the look and performance of their truck. Common upgrades include 18, 20, or 22-inch rims, often paired with larger, more aggressive all-terrain or mud-terrain tires.


It's important to note that upgrading the rim size may require other modifications, such as adjusting the suspension or fender clearance, to ensure proper fit and avoid any rubbing or clearance issues. Consulting with a professional installer is recommended when making significant wheel and tire changes to a RAM 1500.
