These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2005 Dodge Dakota. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 24 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2005 Dodge Dakota is 9/16"-18UNF. This donor year is recorded as 1/2"-20UNF. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.

Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (1/2"-20UNF on the donor year vs 9/16"-18UNF on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

The following specifications are the known reference values supplied for the 2005 Dodge Dakota. They may represent only part of the available factory fitment data, so confirm your truck's trim, drivetrain, brake package, and original wheel information before ordering.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x139.7, also written as 5x5.5 inches |
| Center bore | 77.8 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 16 inches |
| Rim width | 7.0 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET25, or 25 mm |
| Backspacing | 4.48 inches |
| Reference tire size | 245/70R16 |
| Tire section width | 245 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 70 percent |
Do not rely on bolt pattern alone. A replacement wheel also needs suitable center-bore clearance, offset, width, brake clearance, load capacity, and lug-seat compatibility. Confirm the specifications in the owner's manual, the vehicle door-jamb label, the original wheel markings, and a Dodge or qualified wheel supplier source.
Use the calculator on this page to compare a donor vehicle with your 2005 Dodge Dakota. Enter the donor vehicle under Wheels from (donor vehicle) and enter the Dakota under Installed on (your vehicle). Review the wheel diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, center bore, and tire information together rather than approving a wheel based on one matching number.
The calculator also lets you enter a custom wheel size. Adjust rim diameter, rim width, and offset to model an aftermarket wheel. You can separately adjust tire section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates the tire diameter shown in the comparison, which helps you evaluate the complete wheel-and-tire package.
Use the calculator as a screening tool, not as a substitute for a physical test fit. A result that appears close still requires confirmation of brake clearance, suspension clearance, fender clearance, hub fit, lug hardware, tire load rating, and speedometer effects.
Plus sizing means fitting a larger-diameter wheel with a lower-profile tire while attempting to preserve a similar overall tire diameter. The calculator can show how a custom rim diameter changes the comparison, but it does not confirm every physical or legal requirement for a particular tire and wheel combination.
Changing wheel width or offset can move the tire closer to suspension components or farther toward the fender. Increasing tire section width can also affect clearance, steering behavior, road noise, and fuel economy. Do not select a tire size solely because its nominal diameter appears similar to 245/70R16.
Before using a non-reference size, verify the tire manufacturer's approved rim-width range, load rating, inflation requirements, and actual dimensions. Confirm clearance at full steering lock and through suspension travel. If your trim-specific factory size differs from the reference data above, use the vehicle's door-jamb label and owner's manual as the primary sources.
Have the wheel installed by a qualified technician when possible. Clean rust, dirt, and paint buildup from the hub and wheel mounting surfaces without removing material that affects fit. The wheel should sit fully flat against the hub or approved spacer surface.
Install only the correct lug hardware for the wheel. Start every lug nut by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star or crisscross pattern, then torque with a calibrated torque wrench to the vehicle or wheel manufacturer's specification. The supplied data identifies M14 x 1.5 threads but does not provide a torque value, so do not guess.
After installation, rotate each wheel by hand and check for interference. Lower the vehicle, recheck torque using the applicable specification, and inspect for contact during steering movement. Recheck lug torque after the initial driving period specified by the wheel or vehicle manufacturer, especially after installing aftermarket wheels.
Useful equipment includes a calibrated torque wrench, a suitable socket set, a jack and properly rated jack stands, wheel chocks, a tire-pressure gauge, and a tread or clearance inspection tool. Use the vehicle's approved lifting points and never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Helpful supplies may include a wire brush for cleaning mounting surfaces, a thread-safe cleaner, marking chalk, and correctly specified replacement lug nuts. A calibrated automotive torque wrench can help reduce the risk of over-tightening or under-tightening, but always follow the applicable OEM and wheel manufacturer instructions.
The supplied reference fitment is 5x139.7, commonly written as 5x5.5 inches. Confirm the pattern on the actual truck and replacement wheel before purchase.
The known center bore is 77.8 mm. A replacement wheel with a smaller center bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore requires an appropriate centering solution when recommended by the wheel manufacturer.
The supplied reference offset is ET25, or 25 mm. Offset is only one part of fitment. Wheel width, spoke design, brake clearance, tire size, and suspension clearance must also be checked.
The supplied tire reference is 245/70R16, with a 245 mm section width, 70 percent aspect ratio, and 16-inch rim diameter. This information may not cover every trim or factory package, so compare it with the tire placard and owner's manual.
Possibly, but a donor wheel must be compared for bolt pattern, center bore, width, offset, brake clearance, load capacity, and lug hardware. Enter the donor vehicle in the calculator and compare it with the Dakota. Do not treat a matching bolt pattern as complete confirmation.
A larger diameter may be possible with a suitable lower-profile tire, but the complete package must maintain adequate clearance and load capacity. Use the custom wheel and tire fields in the calculator, then verify the tire manufacturer's specifications and perform a physical test fit.
The known thread size is M14 x 1.5, but the correct lug nut also depends on the wheel's seat type and design. Inspect the wheel documentation or ask the wheel manufacturer before ordering. A compatible M14 x 1.5 lug nut set should be selected only after confirming the required seat style.
No. The calculator helps compare listed and custom dimensions, including the tire-diameter change when rim diameter changes. Final fitment still requires OEM documentation, wheel and tire manufacturer data, load-rating checks, and inspection for brake, hub, suspension, and fender clearance.
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.
