Default 6 lug Rim Compatibility?

Hey guys,

I'm looking at rims off a 1990 Chevy. They are 6 lug like my dakota, but I am concerned about driving about an hour and find out they don't work. So does anybody know from experience? I tried searching around but found nothing really helpful.

Here's a link to them: http://lancaster.craigslist.org/pts/2771292793.html

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, I'm only 15 min away SOLD!! Just kidding haha.

Why don't you have the seller measure them, so you don't have to drive all that way for nothing.

Haha - I'd have to track you down and steal your truck just for that.

But yeah, I sent him an e-mail. Just want to make sure if anybody here knows.

Check out this link. It gives lug bolt patterns for almost any vehicle, so you can tell if they will fit your truck.

Ya, that link is pretty good. I am pretty sure those are the ONLY vehicles with this bolt pattern. Its unfortunate and hard to find good ones. 2nd gen dakota rims need the banjo bolt on the caliper ground down to fit.
I will probably end up buying rims off of this site soon. (When I order my body lift and get new tires) Its pretty cheap

Here is the compatible vehicles with the same bolt pattern. This is copy and paste from the FAQ.

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.

The only way they will work is if you buy some wheel adapters off ebay. Thats what i did now im running 16x8 aftermarket chevy wheels on my dakota.

I am just new on here, but I f you go to a web site like "rims and tires" just type in your vehicle info and they will tell you what your bolt pattern is and offset etc.. Than just type in the info for the chevy rims you are looking at buying. You should be able to compare and see if they will work or not

The only problem with using the Nissan wheels is the center hub bore is too small. Our Dodge hub center is a little bit bigger.
