i saw some wheel spacers on ebay for the dakota. they r like $70 to your door. i was actually thinking about getting them because its hard to find rims with backspacing. that would also eliminate the rub for your tires.

wheel spacers are bad news...they will wobble until they where a) themselves out, or b) your lugs out. they sound like a good idea at first until you snap your lugs in half at high torque. dont take the cheap way out in this case. special order your rims go to a smaller tire or lift your truck.
