Dodge Ram TRX
Forged wheel sizing, stance, brake-clearance planning, 6x139.7 PCD references, 77.8 center-bore references, recorded customer specifications, and street-ready engineering checks for Dodge Ram TRX owners.
Recorded fitment data gives this guide a working engineering baseline; installed-car photos can be added once the build is photographed.
This guide helps Dodge Ram TRX owners choose forged wheels with the right stance, tire support, brake clearance, and road manners. The goal is simple: a wheel that looks right, fits properly, and feels sharp on the actual car.
Width, offset, and concavity specified to the vehicle, not pulled from a generic size chart.
Spoke profile, barrel shape, and backpad are reviewed around the exact brake package.
Lower unsprung mass can sharpen steering, braking feel, and ride control.
| Area | Guide value | Fitment note |
|---|---|---|
| PCD | 6x139.7 | Confirm exact vehicle before machining. |
| Center bore | 77.8 | Machine hub-centric to the confirmed car. |
| Wheel sizes | 20x10 ET-18 | Review tire, brake, fender and ride height together. |
| Wheel models | Custom | Face profile depends on brake and load target. |
This recorded 2023 Dodge Ram TRX specification documents 20x10 ET-18 Custom with 6x139.7 / 77.8. LFI still confirms tyre shoulder, brake clearance, ride height and load target against the actual car before machining.
This is an actual LFI customer build record. Installed photos will be added once the customer provides them.
The primary row comes from an LFI customer fitment record. Alternate rows are reference directions only, then LFI still checks brake template, tire shoulder, load target, and the actual ride height before production.
| Direction | Wheel size | Wheel model | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 20x10 ET-18 | Custom | Real LFI build record | LFI customer fitment record. Confirm tire shoulder, brake template, ride height, and final offset. |
| Alternate | Same diameter, +0.5 in width, offset within 5 mm | LFI CSF1 V3 Racing Forged Wheel | More visual aggression | Reference benchmark. Verify tire shoulder, brake template, ride height, and fender clearance before production. |
| Additional | One inch larger diameter with conservative width | LFI CSF3 V2 Racing Forged Wheel | Show-oriented street fitment | Reference benchmark. Confirm tire diameter, load rating, brake clearance, and road-use comfort first. |
Wheel fitment is more than diameter and offset. LFI reviews vertical load, braking and drive torque, spoke-root behavior, hub-pad stress, bolt-seat stress, and combined load cases before final production.
For this guide, LFI uses the Ram Body Builder TRX rear GAWR row of 4200 lb, converted to a 1905 kg rear-axle baseline, or 953 kg per wheel. The preferred customer-facing target in this table is 1200 kg per wheel when the wheel family allows it.
Wheel strength is not only vertical load. LFI also reviews acceleration, braking, cornering, potholes, tire grip, hub-pad stress, bolt-seat stress, spoke-root stress, and rim-barrel torque reaction against an approximately 2,900 Nm per wheel static torque load target.
If you want the manufacturing side of the process, LFI's How LFI Wheels Are Made page shows the design, forging, CNC machining, finishing, and QC logic behind a custom forged wheel before it ever reaches the car.
| Wheel load rating | Per-axle equivalent | Margin vs axle baseline | Status | How LFI positions it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 890 kg | 1780 kg per axle | -7% vs 953 kg/wheel | Low reserve | Use only after exact axle data, tire load, and duty cycle are confirmed. |
| 1050 kg | 2100 kg per axle | +10% vs 953 kg/wheel | Preferred | Road-use, fast-road, and daily forged applications with a useful axle-load reserve. |
| 1200 kg | 2400 kg per axle | +26% vs 953 kg/wheel | Preferred | Road-use, fast-road, and daily forged applications with a useful axle-load reserve. |
| 1400 kg | 2800 kg per axle | +47% vs 953 kg/wheel | Extra reserve | Extra reserve for off-road tires, rough roads, payload use, towing-related heat, and aggressive truck duty cycles. |
| Validation load case | Reference basis | Suggested LFI target | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radial vehicle load | Vehicle mass, passengers, tire package, and selected wheel load target | 1200 kg preferred target | Represents vehicle mass and repeated road loading. |
| Torque load | Conservative 1g dry braking check with 60% front bias | ~2,900 Nm per wheel | Loads the hub pad, bolt seats, spoke roots, and rim barrel. |
| Cornering load | Lateral force from road grip, sticky tires, and fast-road or track use | Application-specific | Shows how the wheel behaves when the chassis loads sideways during aggressive cornering. |
| Combined static load case | Radial load + torque load + cornering load | Application-specific | More realistic than isolated vertical checks because real driving loads rarely occur one at a time. |
Engineering Article
For forged wheel applications, vertical load is only one part of the engineering picture. LFI also reviews spoke-root stress, hub-pad loading, bolt-seat behavior, rim-barrel stress, and combined static road-load cases where relevant.

Yes. The case studies are based on real LFI forged-wheel customer projects and fitment records.
The most common recorded PCD in this guide is 6x139.7. LFI must confirm the exact vehicle before production.
Recorded hub-bore references show 77.8. LFI confirms the hub-centric machining value against the actual car before quoting or production.
A recorded starting point is 20x10 ET-18. Tyre pairing, brake clearance and ride height are confirmed around the actual car.
Yes, when the offset, brake clearance, and body clearance are engineered into the forged wheel specification.
Some recorded builds have full specification value while customer images are still pending.
Send the model year, trim, brake package, tyre target, ride height, alignment notes, PCD, hub bore, hardware seat, centre-cap plan, finish, load target and intended use.
Yes. LFI supports local Singapore and Malaysia customers and ships forged wheels internationally with fitment consultation.
Yes. The photos are fitment references. LFI can quote gloss, satin, brushed, polished, bronze, black, silver, and custom finishes depending on the wheel design.
No. The photographed setup is a proven reference point, but LFI can adjust width, offset, concavity, finish, and tire pairing around your car and goals.
Brake clearance depends on the caliper template, barrel profile, spoke shape, backpad, and final offset. LFI checks these before machining.
Yes. A comfort-biased setup can use a more conservative width, sensible offset, and tire sizing with enough sidewall for road use.
Yes, but fender clearance, steering clearance, tire shoulder, ride height, and alignment need to be checked together.
Often yes, if the cap diameter, clip style, pocket depth, and face profile are planned before production.
Yes. Square setups are popular when owners want easy tire rotation, predictable handling, and a clean road-use package.
Yes. Staggered setups can work when the platform, tire diameter, and drivetrain requirements support it.
Two tires with the same printed size can sit differently. Shoulder shape affects fender clearance, steering clearance, and the final stance.
Offset only tells part of the story. Width, tire size, brake clearance, hub geometry, concavity, and ride height all affect whether the setup works.
Yes. LFI supports international forged-wheel orders and can prepare fitment consultation remotely before production.
Share your model year, brake package, tire target, ride height, alignment, center-cap plan, and finish target so LFI can confirm the forged wheel specification.
