I put 8" rims on my 94 Dakota without any problems, no offset. I do however
have the stock wheel well molding/flares. I bought American Racing
AR-534's. They offer 10 different styles for the dakota. Also Boyds has
quite a selection of both cast and billet wheels to choose from that will
fit your truck. Of course you start paying big bucks with the billet wheels...
Hope this helps...
