Will a wheel adapter, (say 1.25") allow the use of late model 18" Dakota/Durango wheel on a Ram ( 94-99 ) ?

Thanks,

Yea I think they are 6 lug too. Isnt there some company that makes wheel spacers that can fit different lug patterns? I could have bet I've seen something like that. Although I don't see how it's possible to go from a 5 to 6 lug....

Thats what I don't get why would they make 6 lugs for a lighter truck. If anything they should be 5 and 1500 should be 6. I'm pretty sure there 5 lug.

A guy at my work has a 1990 Dakota with 5 lugs. My 95 Dakota had 6 lugs and it is the same bolt pattern as my 03 Durango. The newest Dakotas and Durangos are back to 5 lug.
Geez
I believe changes like that are bad business and cause companies to waste money.
