BE, BR, DR, DH, D1, and DS Ram Body styles all use the same rim/bolt
pattern.

I disagree, I have both an 88 Dakota and a 2000 Ram sitting in my driveway
and while they are both 5 lug, they definitely do not have the same bolt
pattern.
The Ram uses a 5 on 5.5" like a few others have indicated and the early
Dakota (87-90)has a 5 on 4.5". It seems to me Bernd is getting his facts
mixed up.
