Default 16" Wheels

Does anybody know if the 16" wheels of the newer Dakotas would fit on the 1992 Dakota?

No problem! I just remembered we have this posted on the faq page...

Wheel bolt pattern:
1987-1990 5 x 4.5" (lots use this bolt pattern from Chevy's to Toyota)
1991-2009 6 x 4.5", 6 x 114.3 (rare, hard to find)
Wheels that will work for the 6x 4.5:
91-04 Dakotas, 98-03 Durangos, All Vipers, and 05-08 Nissan Pathfinder/Frontier/Xterra, 04-05: Cadillac SRX, Suzuki Equator 08-09.
...In case you wanted a complete list of wheels that would work.

I should also mention that although the 2nd gen wheels fit without a problem, they are 2 inches wider (if I recall correctly), so they stick out further. I remedied that with the Bushwacker Fender Flares that are on my truck in the picture, but its not really necessary... they don't stick out too much further.

Personally though, I like the stance they gave my truck and they are my favorite factory wheels that were ever put on the Dakota!! In fact, I still have a set laying around that I need to get rid of since my truck is now sporting an 8x6.5 lug pattern!

Thanks, didn't realize they are 2" wider, but that might not be a bad thing either!
