Default looking for a 15x10 rim.

Did a search hand could not find any info here for a 15x10 or wider rim for my 97 Dakota.

Maybe a 16?

trying to put a huge rear wheel on my 2WD.

Stock rim is 8 wide and I am currently running a 295/50-15 on the rear with a 265/50-15 on the front. It is lowered 4 inches in the back and 3 inches in the front but that big rubber still looks small in the wheel well. I am not into the huge rim and small tire style of today. I like the look of a FAT HUGE REAR MEAT TIRE!
Hoosier and Mickey Thompson make the tires I am looking at. Other off names make tires for it too.

ANY help?

11 days and no response?
Does that mean NO ONE makes a 15x10 rim for a 97 Dakota?

you could get them widened if you really want 15"
i would go with a larger rim though,
as you'll have better luck getting 10"

Whats your lug pattern? If it's 6 x 4.5 then your pretty much **** out of luck. There's like only one company that makes an aftermarket wheel for that pattern and it's a steel wheel. I don't know if they make it in a 15 x 10 though.

if you have the 6 lug and can't find anything for your dakota,
Try looking for them to fit a viper,
the lug pattern is the same, the only vehicle to use viper lugs is the 6-lug 'kota

yea, the rims on the new viper will indeed fit the dakota
the fronts are 20" the rears are 22" (too big for your fat rubber)
ask the guys in the viper section on the width. and other info

I am currently running 15x10 Weld Typhoons on my 2000. Could be interested in selling them if you are interested. Have 4 and would need them all to go if I sold them.

PM me if you are interested as I don't get on the forum often.
