Default Wheel Problems

Ok boys heres one for you.


Asked the Wheel and Tire man about swapping my 235/75/15's to the '99 Dakota wheels I picked up, and he said it wont work.

He said, It'll rub, and the wheel is too wide.

Anyone know about this?

Wheel looks like

Its a '96 2WD V8, if that makes a difference.

Thanks guys!

If I remember it will work with a little griding on the caliper bajo bolt head, not to much though. Do a search and see how much others have ground it down. This question comes up all the time.
