>>>stock offset for Dakotas?<<<

for the 87-91's with the 5 bolt it's 38 (yes, 38 mm)
I'm not sure about backspacing, but since it's a 6" rim with such a low
offset, it's prbably around 3" or maybe 3.5" for the 5 bolters. Ask enkei
about your Dak, they told me a lot about my bolt pattern (for instance,
mine is the same as a Ferd Ranger, which is the same as a Probe, which
is the same as an Explorer, which is the same a 3000GT and Stealth....
the list goes on) and answered some of my offest questions. Good luck!
Hope this helps! =) how's the Dak comin'?

Thanks for the info, I'll check out that enkei site. I acutally did find
that one of their wheels fits the dak bolt pattern, but I'm thinking it's a
typo, why would just one wheel, in one size, fit??? The SST-3 in 17X9
is
listed as having the 6X4.5 bolt pattern. Hmmmmm But anyway, what is
the
stock offset for Dakotas? What about backspacing?
Later,
Robert
