The arrangement of the mounting holes on a vehicle’s wheel hub is a crucial specification for ensuring proper wheel fitment. For the 2012 Dodge Ram 1500, this configuration adheres to a specific standard, defined by the number of studs and the diameter of the circle they form. This measurement directly impacts wheel compatibility.
Accurate knowledge of this specification is essential for selecting the correct aftermarket wheels or replacing damaged rims. Using wheels with an incorrect configuration can lead to wheel instability, vibration, and potential damage to the vehicle’s drivetrain and suspension components. This specification has remained consistent across several model years of the Ram 1500, reflecting the vehicle’s design and engineering.
