brdhntr Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 i just got a call from a guy that has a new set of tires on a dodge dakota (wrecked) he bought. he will sell me the tires or for $50 more, the wheels with them. if they will fit with no issue, that means i don't have to pay to have them mounted. i believe 90 and earlier were 5 on 4.5 then they went to 6 on 4.5. the mj is 5 on 4.5 right? will they have the same offset or very similar? if i take them can i just bolt them right up or do i have to have the switched over to the jeep wheels? i'm going out to see them soon.

brdhntr Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 by the way, i have checked it out online and i know they should work, on paper. i'm more curious if anyone has experience with this trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I have never seen a Dakota with anything but a 6 on 4.5 or a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern, but I am not familiar with the older ones. What year is the truck you are talking about? EDIT: I just found a spec sheet on them. The '87 - '90 did use a 5 on 4.5 pattern. '91 - '04 were 6 on 4.5, the the '05 to current are 5 on 5.5 .

brdhntr Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 it's an 87. i looked at them and they are actually 16" with a 5 on 4.5 pattern. i think they will work fine. it's such a great deal i just can't pass it up. if it's not going to work i'll just resell them at a profit. so i'll have an mj with 225 16's, should be cool. :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
