Big difference as MOPAR will have them made to their owns specs. It's like many things. Motorcraft made parts for other automakers, but made them to the specs of the other automakers, not Ford specs.
MOPAR generally won't buy things just off the shelf and have their name put on it. You can bet on differences somewhere.
Pretty familiar with that sort of industry thing................... Whirlpool made appliances for Sears - but Sears had their own specs and even had their own inspectors check things out in the factory that made them.
A company in IL makes electronic parts for Toyota, a friend used to work in that company - Toyota has their specs and keeps tabs on things.

It's very possible there are actual differences - other than the name put on them.
It's like when people say that vehicles, products, whatever the conversation, come off the same assembly line so they must be the same. Totally untrue. Parts, specifications, tolerances, even QA/QC specs can vary depending upon the finished product. So the idea of "it's all the same" is definitely a fallacy.

We have something similar (rollers) but never thought to use it like that. Nice idea!

Search for Wheels stud hanger. Took me longer to figure out search terms than to find a bunch that might work. The ones in the photo are for m12, but I bet one of these would work. Might try it myself next time I'm up on jack stands. HANGER

EDIT: Janster types faster!!

Just ordered a three pack of them off Amazon: Link

I had a set for my Audi which used lug bolts, didn't realize that anyone made them for wheels with studs.

Because they make sense for lug bolts, what is the point when the studs already stick out and you can set the wheel on them easily? Seems like an added step with no gain unless I'm missing something?

I love it. Thanks. I just bought two from them. I don’t think I need three for 5x5. One would probably do it. But maybe two at a time. I bet it will help a ton with less 37” tire lifts.

I just ordered the same ones directly. I only wanted two and the price was slightly better.

The ones with the knarling are a no go..
After opening that link I liked the 3rd one down that was smooth. The knarling would basically grind away at the holes when they are placed over.

Maybe you can do it easily, but my tire (37x12.5 MTBBAT) / wheel combo is ~110 lbs. I'm about 143 lbs. dripping wet, kind of a center of mass issue.

Pretty cool. They’d work for our Volvo which has lug bolts, but I don’t know if there would be enough clearance for cars with lug nuts.
Might depend on the wheel. I'll try to remember to follow up next time I rotate the tires.

I just ordered the same ones directly. I only wanted two and the price was slightly better.
I had a set of two for my old Audi, thought it might be easier getting things lined up with three.
