Replying to: bpeebles (May 04, 2007 12:55 pm) I'll likely go with the WR SUVs in the factory size P255/65R/16 or maybe slightly wider in a P265/70R/16 size. If I pick the wider taller size, will it raise the 3.92 differential drive ratio (i.e., to a lower number) due to less revolutions of the tire? Thanks, dataguru

Replying to: dataguru (May 07, 2007 9:23 am) I run the Vativva "P" on my Dakota and the WR on my 56MPG Volkswagen TDI. =========== To answer your question about changing the outsied tire diamater -- DONT DO IT! The Dakota factory shop manual warns that changing the tire diameter will affect the function of the ABS system. If you REALLY want to change the tire diameter, the service-manual recommends reprogramming the onbobard computer so the ABS system and speedometer are accurate.

| does anyone know the angle on a 01 dakota wheel lugs? im a machinist and i just need the angle on it to make the spacer. or does any one know a site that has this spacer already. im tired of finding rims that are discontinued cause the dodge has such a weird spread. thanks | |

I have a 2000 QC. I bought it as a third party buyer. It already had after market rims on it. They were KMC Stealth 18". I got the tires rotated and one of the rims is bent in the hub. I had an extremely hard time finding a replacement rim. All places had was the five lug Ford and Chevy pattern. Why did Dodge do this? How can I get rid of my old rims? Do you know anyone who is interested? Thanks

Replying to: cpav5unc (Aug 21, 2007 10:26 am) Six-bolt wheels torque more evenly and are generally thought to contribute to reduced lateral runnout and thus less wheel vibration at speed. They also provide a stronger mounting under high torque and stress load conditions. You typically will not find six-bolt Dodge wheels for the Dakota in many places because...well they're not for Chevies, although the bigger custom auto places here in Rochester, New York seem to carry them.

Replying to: dustyk (Aug 21, 2007 6:02 pm) Even if your Dak has 4 or 5 bolt wheels, you would have the VERY SAME PROBLEM because most folks do not carry Dodge wheels. You problem is not the 6-bolt pattern... it is the fact it is a Dodge. (Dodge=Different!!) I assume that you are aware that 5-bolt Ford is not interchangable with 5-bolt chevy nor 5-bolt Dodge...they are ALL different bolt patterns. (diameter of bolt-pattern is different) Have you tried researching for a replacement dodge wheel on the internet? There are MANY places which should carry what you are looking for. |
