Questions
Does the Ram 1500 have any tire or wheel recalls?

Check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls; open recalls are repaired free by the dealer.
What wheel and tire size does the Ram 1500 take?
It depends on the year and trim. The factory size is on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb; the number after the R is the wheel diameter. For a bigger wheel, keep the new tire within about 3% of that height so the speedometer stays accurate: the tire size calculator lists the sizes for any wheel diameter.
Can I put 20-inch wheels on my 1500?
Most Ram 1500 trucks can run 20s with a tire of the same overall height. Match the bolt pattern and center bore, keep the outer edge within about half an inch of your current wheel on stock suspension, and check the load rating. The guide "Will 20-inch wheels fit my truck?" walks through each check.
