These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2011 Dodge Dakota. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2011 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 factory specifications are known for the 2011 Dodge Dakota. If your trim or package differs, verify each value against the driver door jamb tire placard, your owner manual, or your dealer using the VIN. Do not assume fitment across all trims without confirming.
| Spec | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x139.7 mm | Also referred to as 5x5.5 in |
| Center bore | 77.8 mm | Wheels with larger bores need hub-centric rings. Smaller bores will not fit |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 | Match lug nut thread and seat type to the wheel |
| Rim diameter | 16 in | Factory wheel size shown. Some trims may differ |
| Rim width | 7.0 in | Factory wheel width shown |
| Offset (ET) | 25 mm | Factory reference value |
| Backspacing | 4.48 in | Derived from wheel width and offset |
| Factory tire size | 245/70R16 | Check the tire placard on your specific truck |
If any values are unknown for your specific trim, use the on-page calculator with your factory sizes and confirm against OEM sources. Visual checks also help: look for wheel size and offset cast into the back of a spoke, and confirm tire size on the sidewall.
The calculator compares Wheels from (donor vehicle) against Installed on (your vehicle). It also lets you try a Custom wheel size and Custom tire size. Changing rim diameter will automatically update the compared tire diameter, so you can track overall height changes.
Tip: Use the comparison to keep offset changes conservative so steering feel and scrub radius remain close to stock values.
Many owners explore larger diameters or wider wheels for appearance or performance. The safest approach is to let the calculator guide you and to verify on the truck before committing.
Important: The exact upgrade sizes that fit can vary by trim level, brake package, suspension height, and tire brand. Confirm with the calculator and OEM references before buying.
What is the 2011 Dodge Dakota bolt pattern?
It is 5x139.7 mm, which is the same as 5x5.5 in.
What offset do I need for aftermarket wheels?
The factory reference is ET25 on a 16x7 wheel. For aftermarket options, use the calculator to compare inner clearance and outer position to stock. Choose an offset that maintains safe clearances on your specific truck.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
If the new wheel’s center bore is larger than 77.8 mm, use rings to center the wheel on the hub. If the bore is smaller than 77.8 mm, the wheel will not fit the hub.
Can I run 17 inch or 18 inch wheels?
Possibly, but it depends on width, offset, tire size, and your brake and suspension clearances. Use the calculator to keep overall tire diameter close to stock and to verify inner and outer clearances. Always test-fit before mounting tires.
What lug nuts are correct for the Dakota?
Thread size is M14x1.5. The seat style must match the wheel design, which can vary by wheel. Do not mix seat styles.
What is the center bore on the 2011 Dakota?
77.8 mm.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
Consult the owner manual or OEM service information for the exact torque specification for your trim and wheel type. Torque with a calibrated wrench and re-torque after driving 50 to 100 miles.
Will the calculator show brake caliper clearance?
It shows inner and outer position changes based on wheel size and offset. You still need to physically verify caliper and spoke clearance during a test fit.
How do I check backspacing against the truck?
Backspacing is the distance from the hub mounting pad to the inner wheel lip. Compare the new wheel’s backspacing to the OEM 4.48 in value using the calculator, then verify physically with a straightedge and ruler against the hub and suspension.
Use the Wheel Interchange Calculator on wheelinterchange.com to validate every change before purchasing. If any spec on your truck is unknown or appears to differ from the values above, confirm with the tire placard, owner manual, or your dealer using the VIN.
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.
