2019 RAM 3500 WHEEL SWAP TO 2004 RAM 3500

["OLYMPIC-VIEW"]

I did try to utilize search on this topic, see one on here recently with regards to a wheel swap--
Just want to see if this wheel swap will work with no leveling kit or suspension lift?

2019 Ram 3500 SRW has the 20" x 8" alloys with Firestone Transforce AT 285/60R20
to a
2004 Ram 3500 SRW has the 17" x 7.5" stock alloys with Michelin LTX AS 265/70R17

Fitment issues? Clearance or rubbing issues?
3.73 gearing issues? 48-RE shift point changes?

Many thanks for the sound advice on this topic!

IIRC, wrong bolt pattern. Check the bolt pattern to be sure.

The bolt pattern is the same, but the offset is different. IIRC @Ozymandias told me that the newer wheels will run 1/2” closer to the suspension.

Ooops, been researching dually wheels to much. 2019+ Duallies are now 8x200 like the Fords, SRW's are still 8x165.1.

Wheels fit with no issues, I have them on an 05. Downside is the backspacing is .25" more than the 3rd gen. 4th gen wheels are 6.5" backspace compare to 6.25 on 3rd gen. Moves the wheels in enough on really badly rutted asphalt it is always running on the slope. Can introduce some steering weirdness.

Thanks for the replies...looking at the 18"s as well--the 20"s I'm looking at are very nice, less than 500 miles on them...

This 18" Laramie Wheel is one of the better looking wheels in RAM stable.

AGREE! That's the 18" I'm looking at...will it accomodate a TOYO A/T III 35X12.50?
These are the 20"s I'm looking at...

Both are good looking and do not have the garbage can lid look that I do not like.
