Default Wheel/Rim combo info requested

Found a set of 15x?? 2000 Dodge Durango set of rims, with 31x10.5R15 BFG T/A's on them


I have a completely stock 1995 Dakota 3.9L 4x4

What do I need to do to fit them?

Probably 15x8's, crank the torsion bars and they should fit maybe with a slight rub.

They look like these

31x10.5x15's though they may actually be slightly larger since they're retreads.

hmm... what do I need to do to put a small lift on the truck?

I'm a HUGE European car guy, and dont work on trucks very much. How do you "crank" the torsion bars, and raise the rear a little bit?

follow the torsion bars to under the cab and they are adjustable there.

Yes cranking the torsion bars up a bit will give you more clearance. The rears from factory are already set higher than the fronts. So they will be fine. But if you want more lift you can add lift blocks. For TONS of more lift Ideas check the FAQ2.
