Default 2010 Dodge Ram wheel fitment for WJ

I want to put a set of OEM 2010 Dodge Ram wheels. From what I've seen they are 5x5 lug pattern like the WJ. Anyone know if that is correct and if they will fit?

From what I see the WJ is 5x5.5 but idk what the Ram wheels are, also I would need to know backspacing because I might need adapters if the bolt pattern doesn't match up. Can anyone help?

WJs are 5x5, same as the JK Wrangler and I think all the new Jeeps like the Liberty also.

WJ factory wheels


All 16x7.0" Wheels: Backspacing = 6.0" Offset = 50.8mm Bolt pattern = 5x5 (5x127mm)

All 17x7.5" Wheels: Backspacing = 6.25" Offset = 50.8mm Bolt pattern = 5x5 (5x127mm)


Dodge Ram 1500 factory wheels


17x7" 5x5.5 Bolt Pattern or 139.7mm Standard Offset - 5in Backspacing

or 8x6.5 Bolt pattern or 165.1mm Standard Offset - 5.5in Backspacing


They wont work, 5min of googling would have told you that much.

I'm not sure you came here and asked if you're ready to purchase an adapter and are so adamant about putting them on.

You can put them on with an adapter but be aware they put a lot of stress on your axles seals and bearings.

Well since they don't bolt right on I am not going to mind usig adapters. I'm ok with them. I am not very familiar with jeeps. What is the difference between backspacing and offset. I thought that was the same. With the specs one o the guys gave about the wheels will I be able to use adapters to fit the wheels on? If so how big do they need to be?
