I did this swap as a way of having an inexpensive off-road setup that I can easily swap without any need to alter my speedo calibrations and have fun wheeling without worrying about an expensive set of wheels.
Disclaimer: The owner/operator assumes all the risks as these are not OEM Rivian wheels and while they are from a 1500 Dodge RAM truck I cannot validate that all similar RAM wheels will fit or that the wheels you choose are load rated within reason for our vehicles. Proceed at your own risk, do not purchase beat up wheels or wheels that have been repaired!
If anyone is looking for a simple alternative for their R1T/R1S that did not purchase a full size spare, this is an alternative as well.
What you need:
Dodge Wheels OEM Part #2363 which are 20x8 5 x 5.5" with 18mm + offset (not all 5lug RAM wheels fit, some have thicker spokes and will give you very limited brake caliper clearance)
Hub Centric rings, 4pcs from Wheel Connect through Amazon with great communication and fast service. SKU# HR7780-6410A These will allow the smaller Rivian (64.1mm) hub core to remain concentric with the larger RAM (77.8mm) wheel center bore.
TPMS Sensors, are a simple one and I have validated these to works without any issues. Connection to the trucks takes a few minutes of driving around, nothing more!
Center Caps are a simple Amazon purchase: Vendor is ProCaps 63mm outer, 56mm inner
Center cap logos, you are on your own, find a friend with a Cricket vinyl cutter.
Tires are really the biggest decision here. I chose to run similar Pirelli Scorpion AT's in a 275/60R20 size. These are nearly identical to the OEM's (275/65R20) but 1 size down as they are a perfect overall diameter match to my stock 21" road wheels as well as those running the 22" sports! You can use a local tire vendor since you will need mounting & balancing or you can do as I have and purchase through the Tire Rack and take them to a shop of your choice.
Overall I am very pleased with the setup, ride comfort and performance. I will continue to report back as I log miles, on and off road!
