Recorded OEM specifications for the 2001 Dodge Dakota, donor years with overlapping ranges, and a calculator to compare a selected wheel. Range overlap is not a guaranteed fit.
Baseline mounting dimensions used for interchange decisions.
Multiple OEM configurations exist for this vehicle. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and factory wheel package – confirm your exact setup before buying.
Center-bore records disagree: year-level hub 71.5 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm. Interchange below does not treat this as an unqualified match.

These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2001 Dodge Dakota. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 21 donor years. Listed 21 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 71.5 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm; donor year-level hub 71.5 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved.

Dataset suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 6.6 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 6.6 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 6.6 mm farther inward than the mid OEM package.

Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 71.5 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm; donor year-level hub 71.5 mm vs trim range 71.6–71.6 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change 4 mm, inner change -4 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

The values below are provided for at least one factory configuration of the 2001 Dodge Dakota. Trims and packages can differ. The data show a 16x7 wheel with ET 35 and also a 215/75R15 tire size, which indicates multiple OEM wheel and tire packages existed in 2001. Always verify your exact build using the driver door placard, the owner manual, and the on-page calculator.
| Bolt pattern | 6x114.3 |
| Center bore | 71.6 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.25 |
| Rim diameter | 16 in |
| Rim width | 7.0 in |
| Wheel offset | ET 35 mm |
| Backspacing | 4.88 in |
| Tire size example | 215/75R15 |
Notes: If any value on your vehicle differs from the table, defer to your OEM documentation. Some small differences can exist between trims, special editions, and brake packages.
The Dakota often accepts modest plus-sizing, but exact limits vary by trim and brake package. Use the calculator to model changes from your verified OEM size.
Because the data show both a 16x7 wheel and a 215/75R15 tire, confirm your truck’s actual stock size on the door placard, then use that size as the baseline for any plus-sizing in the calculator.
What is the bolt pattern on the 2001 Dakota?
6x114.3 per the known OEM data. Always confirm on your specific truck if parts have been changed.
What offset should I use?
The provided OEM reference is ET 35 mm on a 16x7 wheel. Other trims may differ. Use ET 35 as a baseline in the calculator, then adjust for width and measure your actual clearances before buying.
Will 15 inch wheels fit my 2001 Dakota?
The tire data include 215/75R15, so some packages used 15 inch. Fitment depends on your brake package and wheel design. Verify with the door placard and test fit over your front brakes.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
If your aftermarket wheel center bore is larger than 71.6 mm, use rings sized 71.6 mm to your wheel bore to improve centering and reduce vibration.
What lug nuts does it use?
The thread size provided is M12 x 1.25. Confirm lug seat style on your wheels and match it with the correct nuts. Never mix seat styles.
How close should my new tire diameter be to stock?
As a general rule, aim to stay within about plus or minus 3 percent of your verified OEM overall diameter for best speedometer, ABS, and gearing behavior. Use the calculator to compare.
Are spacers safe on this truck?
Only if absolutely needed. Use hub-centric spacers with proper hardware, maintain adequate stud engagement, and torque to OEM specs. Recheck torque regularly. Confirm legality in your area.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
