I have an 1988 dakota with 5 lug wheels. My biggest problem is they dont match eachother and i have no clue what other wheels fit my truck. I cant use newer wheels because if the lug pattern. Can anyone give me some advice?

There are several vehicles that have the 4.5 (113.5mm) X 5 lug pattern that the early dakotas have. I forget the offset numbers, but its in the medium range. I have 17" wheels from a Dodge Nitro on mine, they have the proper offset.

I also have a set of Cragar 16 X 8 wheels in silver that I need to sell if anyone is interested. They fit a 5 lug Dakota.

Here's a listing, including one of the critical ones - the center hole!

I typed the metric pattern incorrectly, its 114.3mm X 5 which is the same as US 4.5" X 5.

That center bore is important too, as RalphP noted. It's 71.5mm. That's a great link for wheel pattern info Ralph.

I ran 17" 95 mustang cobra 5 spokes on mine. A cylinder ridge reamer bored that pesky center hole large enough to clear the Dodge centering hub.
