Hello I have 89-basic azz hell dakota:$ old things even has this god awful paint (metallic brown on top, tan for the sides, with some crome kick plates all the way along the base of the body) i wont get started on the interior. I konw most people hear are for lifting witch i was going to do but it would be more than i can aford to do. So im lowering it, 4" in back and 3 in the front. Witch brings me to my point I was thinking about trying to stay with dodge rims and would like to go with 15"s if i remember rite mine are 16" now and was wondering what other rims would fit sutch as stratus, carivan ect....

Well as far as lifting can be cheep. It depends on how much and if its 2wd or 4wd. For $30 you can get a 2in lift. For $100 add another 2in. for $80 add another 2in. But if you want to lower thats your choice. As for rims You have 5 on 4.5 . You can get rims from jeeps toyotas. Here is a link with what models and years with bolt patterns. http://www.okoffroad.com/editorial-boltpattern.htm

that is the same bolt pattern as mustangs and rangers too, i have seen a early dakota with some 18 inch cobra wheels an i looked really good, and it would probably cost more to lower it then to lift it between the spindels and other crap you would have to buy.
