The front wheels will match the rears, but 7.5" wide.

I got one to start with and if it works out, I'll get 3 more, one more to widen and 2 for the front. The wheel was $71.95 plus shipping from www.iautobodyparts.com part #STL03654U45 in case anyone with a Ford or Mopar is interested.



The offset should be OK as is for the front of the Dakota since in stock form, they use a FWD type offset.
