I;m new to this forum as Ijust bought a 93 Dakota Sport 2wd, and frankly, its riding on hideous pizza cutter wheels that I hate. I'm a muscle car guy and I'd like to stay with a 15 inch wheel. I'd like to put 15x7s with 235 tires on itand I'm just wondering if that will fill it out enough or will I have to go wider, or thinner. What's everyone got on their rides so I can compare. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks guys.

 

I have 18x9s with 265 40 on the rear and 245 40s on the front they sit about flush with the fenderwells

 

Colorado05,did you alter your suspension or brakes in anyway to get that combo to work?

 

Only alteration i did was cut 1.5 coils off the front and put 3" blocks on the rear. I think the wheels would stick out about 1/4" in the front as well as the rear but the camber makes them sit even. I drive so little that I dont really wear out tires though. But the sticking out can be fixed by getting the correct offset wheels

The only reason I got the ones with the wrong offsett is because they were free. But even is they set in another full inch they wouldnt rub even with the lowering.

 

What is the correct backspacing? 15x7/15x8 with 3.75 inch backspace should fit nicely, no?

 

Honestly I wish I could tell you but I know basically zip about dodges

 

Aw man, that means I actually have to do some work and measure my rims. That's a drag.

 

I have 235x60x15 15x8 on my dodge and i didnt have to do any alterations...and you get the wide look too.

 

i have 245/60/15 BFG Radial TAs on mine now and they clear fine, no rubbageor anything and it looks alot better. I will try to get some more pics soon on here with them , it has the narrow dunlops in the burnout photos.

 

what is the lug space for our trucks. 5x5 or 5x5 1/2? anybody know?
