1996 Dodge Dakota Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1996 Dodge Dakota in Base, SLT, Sport, and WS trims bolts on using a 6x114.3 pattern. Your truck rolls on a 15x6 stock wheel, and you can upgrade to 15x7, 15x8, 16x8, 17x8, 17x9, 18x8.5, 18x9, 20x10, or 20x8.5 sizes. A square setup works well for this non-staggered application, giving you flexibility across the entire fitment range.
Only wheels with a 6x114.3 bolt pattern will fit your Dakota. The center bore measures 71.6mm; if you choose a wheel with a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Be mindful that larger diameters or aggressive offsets may contact your fender or suspension, so confirm fitment details before ordering.
Every wheel we offer is verified to bolt on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Fuel 1PC, Vision, American Racing, KMC, XD, Black Rhino, Motegi Racing, and Moto Metal all have options in stock and ready to ship for your Dakota.
