Question Wheel Question

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. If you could help me out, it would be great.

I was wondering if I could fit a wheel with these specs on the rear of my 1990 2wd Dakota.

Wheel size: 15x10

Offset: -38

Backside: 4.00

Lug pattern: 5x114.3

Just looking to use something out of the ordinary.

Those won't fit on the stock hubs you have now. You are looking at 6 lugs for a Dakota, the rims you listed have only have 5 lugs.

Check the FAQ for tire specs.

I would think it would fit. Get out the measuring tape and check. Actully 1990 was the last year with the 5 lug pattern.

It was not to hard. If planed out with all the nessary parts/ tools and space and some help from friends it will be fine. Here is the link. It is also located in the FAQ2 in this section. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/950272-post2.html
