1978 Dodge Ramcharger Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Dodge Ramcharger bolts up using a 5x114.3 pattern. The factory runs a 15x6 wheel at plus-3 offset. You can upgrade through 15x7, 15x8, and 16-inch sizes, then move to 17, 18, or 19-inch options—all compatible with your truck's non-staggered setup, so front and rear sizes can match or differ as you prefer.
Keep in mind that only the 5x114.3 bolt pattern will fit your Ramcharger. A hub-centric ring becomes necessary if your chosen wheel's center bore exceeds our 71.8mm specification. Since this truck sits relatively close to stock proportions, aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so moderate your choices accordingly.
Every wheel we list fits your Ramcharger and ships free to the lower 48 states. Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, and BBS are among the quality brands we stock for your build.
