Dakota RT wheels are 17x9

most aftermarket wheels for these trucks are 8.5 some 15s i think are 7..

 

My 2000 4x4 has 31's on 15 x 8 rims with plenty of room and no lift. I have some 32 BFG's from a freind for next summer when these are shot. I have some 33's too but I figured a little at a time.

 

what backspacing is needed for 16x8 wheels on a '03 4x4 with 265/75/16 tires??
will 5in. backspacing work with no rubbing? or should i get the ones with 4 1/2 backspacing, I just found 4 1/2 backspacing 16x8'son jegs.
im looking at getting Cragar soft 8's in 16x8 with Maxxis Bighorn 265/75/16's on them

 

I have 265/70/17 on mine which is like a 32x11 with no rubbing, and the T bars cranked 2"

 

with the stock 16inch wheel you can goto a 265/75r16 without modifications but you have to assume that the bigger (wider and taller)the tire size compaired to the factory size willeffect the odometer and drivability (most dont handle the road well and to get them to run square you have to drop air pressure in turn decreases gas milage)

 

will a 285-75-16 fit on mu truck which has cranked t-bars. i cranked them all the way.

 

31x10.50x15 are great i got goodyaer rt/s and i love them they also look great to id go with those but thats my opinion
