The Dodge Ram 1500 features wheel studs measuring 139mm, arranged in a five-lug pattern known as 5 X 139. This lug pattern is consistent across all modern Dodge Rams. To determine the bolt pattern, measure from the outermost point of one hole to the center of one of the two holes furthest away. It is unsafe to drive a vehicle with a missing wheel lug stud, posing potential danger. If there is only one missing stud, you can drive to a repair facility safely, but don't delay as the other studs may fail due to increased stress. While the likelihood of a wheel lug issue is low, it is typically caused by overtightening or rust. Repairs for a single stud replacement average between $75 and $105.
