I think standard is +1 +1. So, an inch larger diameter, and an inch wider. I suppose the trick would be to find wheels you like, in a size you like, with the correct backspacing. Figure out what tires you want, see what recommended rim width for them is, and go from there. It really is pretty much a matter of personal taste.

Im just asking what other Dakota owners have done in the way of wheel size increase. Thanks
