End of story, move on.

Now I'm done posting in any of your future threads. Good luck with your build.

Here's proof that 235/75/15 are listed somewhere in this universe as a factory option.

Did you read what the OP said? My guess is it came as a option on the 4x4 but that website lists it by default on 2wd. either way who gives a **** If it rubs then dodge would never have had it as an option. What's the big deal about modding the suspension to fit the new wheels and tires? I don't know. It would prob only take a set of coil spacers in the front. Just get it done no use whining.

another idea is tighten up your tortion bars in front if you have any they should raise the front 1 to 2 inches if you go all the way up

I read the thread again and everything 95 said about fitting them was true. He got into a debate over factory options.

Who wants to put FORD wheels on a dakota anyway? I'd laugh if I saw it personally.

2wd dakotas do not have "tortion" bars....4wd has torsion bars, tho. TireRack is not a Dodge factory source of info.
and you guys can think what you want, but I have the original brochures and service manuals. AND I also had a 95 dakota 2wd and tried the 235 tires on factory rims, they rubbed.
235 width tires were never a factory option on 2wd gen1 dakotas. You find a factory brochure that says so, and I will retract.
Put up or shut up, girls...

HAHA!!!

Well why ask if you know the answer to your question? I believed you about the tires in the first place but the point is are you going to put them on or give up because ford wheels and 235's weren't a factory option? Just get some coil spacers off ebay I don't know if that will raise the front end much at all considering the rear is higher it might just level out the stance and if it does raise the front end that's ok just rock the ford wheels with a baby cali lift.
