Can I use wheels with a different bolt pattern on a Dodge Dakota?
Only with a bolt-on wheel adapter from the vehicle pattern (5×139.7 or the other recorded pattern) to the wheel pattern. Adapters are directional. Confirm thickness, center bore, thread, stud engagement, clearance, and load rating. Hub swaps and redrilling are not equivalent shortcuts.

You need a directed adapter whose source pattern is 5×139.7 and whose target pattern matches the wheels. 5×139.7 to another circle is not the same as the reverse unless the catalog lists both directions. Pick the target on this page; thickness is not chosen automatically.
What wheel spacers fit this bolt pattern?
Spacers must match the vehicle bolt pattern (5×139.7 or 6×114.3). Choose thickness for clearance and offset. Matching the pattern is not a claim that a given spacer fits the vehicle.

Only when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle hub. Catalog records show 77.8 mm for the 5×139.7 variant and 71.5 mm for the 6×114.3 variant. Rings fill that gap. They do not fix every vibration issue and they do not change bolt pattern.

The ring is wheel center bore (outer) to vehicle hub (inner). Enter the bore stamped on the wheel. Catalog matches are exact outer and inner millimetres, not nearby sizes.
Can a hub ring make a smaller wheel bore fit a larger hub?
No. A hub ring only fills a wheel bore that is larger than the hub. A smaller wheel bore cannot be opened with a ring.

Match the recorded thread. Catalog records show M14 x 1.5 for the 5×139.7 variant and M12 x 1.25 for the 6×114.3 variant. Fastener type: lug nuts. Seat style and length are not in this catalog — confirm those on the wheel before ordering.
