Default American Racing Wheels "Slider" 15x8 w/4.5 backspacing

So I know Jeep and Dodge are pretty close in Bolt patterns my big concern would be whether the tires would be too tall for my Truck. It's a stock 2008 Dodge Dakota SLT 4x2 no lift with stock 16's on it.

I am sure the 4.5 backspacing would keep any rubbing turning the wheels.

Any Advice would be helpful. Also the price is right.

Bolt pattern is wrong, backspacing is questionable, and 15" rims are almost impossible to fit. Plus there is no statement of how tall the tires are. They look to be roughly 33" tall, which might fit with a lift. I have 32" tires on mine, and they rubbed with a leveling kit installed.

I'd say pass on them.

You can do it with steel wheels not alluminum tho. The steel wheels have thinner metal so you can just get it over the break rotors

lol thnks man way to be the guinee pig haha but seriuously when looking at mudding tires its almost a hundred dollar difference to mount them on a 15" rim and easier to find rather than a 16"rim poor design chrysler
