Your 1997 Dodge Dakota Base, SLT, or Sport comes standard with a fifteen-inch wheel measuring seven inches wide and sitting at a forty-millimeter offset. The truck's six on one fourteen-point-three bolt pattern opens doors to numerous upgrade possibilities. Every wheel we stock for your Dakota is verified to bolt on perfectly, and we ship free throughout the lower forty-eight states.
Finding the right upgrade wheels for your Dakota is straightforward at ThreePiece.us. You can stay with fifteen-inch sizing or step up to eighteen inches, choosing from multiple widths at each size. Our inventory features trusted brands like Fuel, KMC, XD, and American Racing, all confirmed to fit your truck's specifications and ready to ship at no charge.
1997 Dodge Dakota Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Dodge Dakota uses a 6x114.3 bolt pattern shared across Base, SLT, and Sport trims. The stock setup runs 15x7 with a 40mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters like 16, 17, or 18 inches, or stay with 15s in wider widths up to 8 inches. Since the truck doesn't run staggered, all four corners accept the same sizes.
One critical point: only wheels with a 6x114.3 bolt pattern will fit. Your center bore measures 71.6mm, so if a wheel's bore is larger, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Pushing too wide or too aggressive on offset invites rubbing against the fender or suspension components, so verify your chosen specifications before ordering.
Every wheel we offer bolts straight on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Fuel 1PC, Vision, American Racing, KMC, XD, Black Rhino, Motegi Racing, and Moto Metal are all in stock and ready to fit your Dakota.
