Wheels -16" to 15" Any help? - 5/8/2008 1:22:26 AM    thedudler   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/8/2008 Status: offline I have a set of 33" on 15 inch rims from my 1998 durango that had a 6 inch lift in it and want to know if they will fit on a 2003 dakota quad cab that has 16 stock wheels. Any help would be awesome! Post #: 1

The question I really have is will the 15 inch rims fit on the newer trucks that come stock with 16 inch rims? (in reply to thedudler) Post #: 3
