What is rim bolt pattern for 2004.5 ram 2500?
im kinda looking for rims for my 2004.5 ram 2500 diesel. i went on the kal tire site and they list bolt patterns like 8/139.7 or 8/115 etc...
what is our pattern? and what kind of offset to get? i have the bushwacker flares that stick out a bit and id like wheels to come out a bit to be more flush with the flares. id also like 17 inch...maybe 18 but no bigger. if u have any pics or suggestions please post. post a pic of your rims and tell me what style/name brand they are...thanks

either or? would both work. 6.5 " or 170 mm...is that what it means and is that the distance between bolt holes or is that the distance across the pilot hole (center)?

a offset of 0 is the middle of the rim negative offset goes one way ant positive goes the other but look at the back spacing 6.5 is stock ( I think ) i have 4.5 inch back spacing so my rims stick out 2 inches over stock

ok thanks. i noticed most rims on the net dont list the backspace. they just say size,bolt pattern and offset. what are a good looking 17" rim that would go good with my white 04 ram? im thinking something with black maybe with chrome rivets?

so 6.5 bolt pattern? what about offset. i looked again. some rims say +30 some say -20 for offset. This is for 17" by 6.5 rims. do most of you guys buy 5 new rims (1 for spare) or just 4 and use the factory rim underneath
