Default Dodge wheels ???????

Im looking to get new wheels for my 91 Dakota but i cant really afford to spend too much on them. since i dont really like the rims on it right now im looking to buy a set of wheels and tires from most likely a private party.
My question is what other vehicles in the dodge family use the same size wheels as my 91 Dakota?
Im looking at some nice wheels that came off an 04 dodge1500 but not sure if they will fit my truck.
Thanks guys.

-David

Being a '91, it should be a 6 4.5 bolt pattern. 1500s are 5x5.5.

If it is the 5 lug,those're 5.114.3 and depending on the hub size, you could try some Ranger/Explorer/Jeep wheels.


I have two sets of 6 lugs sitting around. '01 Aluminum Dakotas(decent set of Mich's on)or some old Chrome/Alum Panthers(need to be cleaned, just wheels.) I've been meaning to sell.. but, I think you might be kind of far without the shipping hurting a bit.

Dont know where you are but i really wouldnt pay for shipping on wheels. Not to sound too tight but i just dont think its worth it.
Looking closely at the pic i can see that those wheels i was looking at are in fact 5 bolt, too bad, they were soo cheap and nice.

Guess ill just have to keep looking.
Thanks for the info.

Yep, they should. The newer wheels will fit the older ones, however... The centercap will not fit on the fronts of an older 2x4 but will fit witha 4x4.

I have the factory chrome ones that are in all of my pictures. Nothing wrong with them either, they really shine too and you never have to polish them.

i was thinking of buying a 94 not too long before buying the one i have right now simply because of the wheels it had, and those were it. the tires were much bigger than the ones i have right now 235/75/15.
someone said that 31 ich tires might cause problems but looking at my tires they look so little and looks like theres so much free room to put some bigger better looking tire in its place. why would 31's or bigger cause problems?
im asking because i found some that were taken on 03 durango, same rim but bigger tire. they are 265/75/16, slightly over 31 inches. first off will they fit and will i have any issues with size. Thank you guys.

I think on the older 4x4 Dakota, 30s were as big as you could go without rubbing on a full turn.

If you have Durango wheels with a big tire like that, the rim should be wider. It will more than likely rub quicker than if they were on the stock wheel. 31s on the stock wheel will probably rub just a little bit on a FULL turn.

finally got my new wheels. they are the wheels that i wanted after all and payed 50 bucks sor the set with pretty decent 31's that came off an 03 durango. I fit them and make sure that they fit in properly before putting in all of them. Have been driving on them all day now and no noticeable rubbing yet. They turn all they way and nothing. Where is this rubbing supposed to be at, maybe im looking in all the wrong places. I dont want to brake something when i least expect it.

I will have to second that 30's are as large as you can go. I tried 31's in the past and broke a tie rod.
