rims

I show 95 and later Dakotas used a 6x114.3 mm bolt pattern wheels. 98 and later Durangos will fit. All Vipers will fit. Nothing else will fit that I can find.

Hey Bob!

I think he has the rims, and wants to know what other vehicles they might fit... like a Ford Fubar... a Dodge Done For... a Chevy O'Chit... etc.

Actully in the 2005 up series they went back to 5 lugs. I am not sure what the bolt circle is. On my 2006 Dakota, it looks like 5X5.25 or 5X5.5. I havent actually measured it though.

The bolt pattern is not the only consideration that must known!

Many vehicles have exactly the same bolt pattern but different center openings and different offset of the web strcture within the rim itself. This really shows up when you buy a used vehicle and it has a almost new unused temporary spare wheel. You get a flat and when you attempt to install the temp. wheel you find that the center hole is either too large and when you drive off the wheel ultimately comes loose and falls off. Or the center hole is too small and will not fit flatly against the wheel hub, or the web is not a match for your car and cannot be installed for the same reason.

Most wheel are round except for the ones that are not.

Toomuchfun is correct, there is more to wheels than where the wheel studs are. My book does not go past 2003, so I have to use some educated guessing. But, Chrysler has used a 5 x 139.7 mm on most of their pick ups and vans that did not require 8 lugs. That is a much more common size than the 6 lug pattern. 5 x 139.7 mm is also used on some Ford full sized pick ups before 1995, and vans. Chevy Trackers. Isuzu Trooper Limited 96 & 97. 1995 and earlier Jeep Wrangler. Kia Spotrage 95-02. Suzuki SUVs. I hope this helps some.

So it most likely is 5 on 5 1/2" er 139.7mm. Cool I knew about the older Mopar trucks and vans being 5X139.7mm. I just wasn't sure about the new stuff.

Oh yeah, another semi worthless fact, in the years '74-'79, for some dumb reason, Chrysler went to 5X114.3mm on their American 1/2 ton trucks and possibly their vans as well. It may have had something to do with the unitized front wheel bearings in their full time four wheel drive front axles at the time. They also changed the 2WDs to the same bolt pattern during this period. Perhaps for reasons of standardization, I guess. -End of semi-worthless fact ;)

This may shed some light on the reason. That is the same lug pattern as the minivan.

Why do you think Ford went to 7 lugs on heavy F150 trucks.

Hello bob c,

Why do you think Ford went to 7 lugs on heavy F150 trucks.

Because FoMoCo makes more on the parts than the original sale of the vehicle. Henry Ford even threatened the US gov. if they didn't stop bothering him he would give the cars away and make his fortune off the parts.

That new thermal switch on the radiator doesn't really cost $85.00 on that new car but the off size threads means you will buy it OEM or modify the system to take a $10.00 one and void your warranty.

I'm sure you know all this though.

And that is why Ford needs bailout money. To pay for the tooling needed to make those seven lug wheels and axles, along with the unique threading equipment used on radiator mounted thermal switches.
