Expert Buying Guide for 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab
For your 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab, the 5x139.7 bolt pattern and 77.8mm center bore are critical. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore (e.g., 78.1mm or 106.1mm), requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. The factory offset is 19mm; deviations beyond ±6mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always verify lug nut thread pitch (9/16-18) and seat type: factory uses cone seats. Using incorrect lug nuts (e.g., ball seat) can lead to wheel detachment. Safety first: improper fitment compromises handling and braking.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 140 ft-lbs after 50 miles of driving to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ Aftermarket wheels with a 78.1mm center bore require hub-centric rings; avoid using only lug-centric mounting.
- ✅ Check for caliper clearance when using wheels with offset below 13mm or above 25mm, as the 2016 Ram 1500 has large brakes.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 140 ft-lbs (190 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

What is the bolt pattern for a 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab?
The 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab uses a 5x139.7 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 77.8mm and the offset is 19mm.
What other years of Ram 1500 Regular Cab have the same bolt pattern as the 2016?
The Ram 1500 Regular Cab uses the 5x139.7 pattern from 2011 through 2018. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2016, provided the offset and center bore also match.
How tight should I torque the lug nuts on a 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab?
Refer to your owner's manual for exact specs, but always tighten the 9/16 hardware in a star or crisscross pattern. Re-torque after the first 50 miles of driving.
What is the PCD for a 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 2016 1500 Regular Cab, the PCD is 5x139.7.
What is the factory wheel offset for a 2016 Ram 1500 Regular Cab?
The OEM offset for the 2016 1500 Regular Cab is typically around 19mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
What does 19mm offset mean for the 2016 1500 Regular Cab?
An offset of 19mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 19mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Ram.
