When I first got my 92 dakota it had on it the rims in the first picture I thought they were the stock ones for my truck. But it looks like the second pic would be the stock rims. I was wondering the bs. Cuz I ordered some cheap steel rims 15x8 6 on 5.5 with 4.00 backspacing I also order 1.5 inch spacer/adapters to change from the dakota 6x4.5 to 6x5.5 I wanted the rims to stick out some. But I wasn't sure if 4" bs would be enough. and now these rims I just got are interchangeable with my 4runner witch is a plus...

no its not a plus. Best advice is canvle the order and get the right wheels you want for your truck. Wheel spacers are just another thing to fail. Which they do, often. Thats double the lug nuts to keep checked and torqued too.

I'd guess the lugs snapped and a wheel went flying. Hope everyone is ok.

the driver rear spacer got loose and send the tire rolling. I was going slow(probly 25mph) luckily I was next to a parking lot and was able to pull in there. I put the stock tires on the back until I figure out how to not get the spacer to fall off. It's like my back studs are to short even with the stock rims the lugs only screw on half way?? But they have never fallen off so idk..
