nice wheels. 22s are easier to fit onto trucks that stay at stock height or lifted. squeezing 22s onto a lowered truck is the challenge, you'll need the correct offset and really skinny sidewall tires to avoid rubbing; especially for the front.

Not my style really, especially with such small brakes. Thats a lot of additional rolling mass.

You can't even see the brake rotors in the front!!


They look alright on your truck, but your pooooor brakes.......they suck already from the factory and they're just gonna be worse with a set of 60+ pound (?) wheels at each corner.

Not to mention performance & gas mileage are gonna suck now too

They don't make a kit specifically for the Dakota. But from what I understand Brembo makes a kit for the 02-06 Ram which would fit the Dakota if what I hear is correct. This kit will also convert the rear drums to discs. Not 100% sure it's possible but from what I'm hearing it sounds like it is. I have my garage guy looking into it. The Price is steep though almost $3400. I'm thinking I'll just wait until a kit comes out for the fronts at least.
