Will the viper GTS-r racing rims 18X10 front and 18X13 rear fit on a 95 dakota? If I can't use the 18X13 rears I'll just use 2 sets of fronts.

Hey Wicked I've been thinking about this for nearly two years but I don't have the $$$ to experiment.
It seems to me the key issues are backspacing and regulations for wheel coverage. R/T Rims are 17x9 so we are only talking about an extra half inch if the backspacing works out okay, but then if local regs require the wheels to be under the fenders you are most likely in trouble (depending on if you have fender flares).
Ride height is also going to be crucial. If you plan on lowering at all I'd guess you should just give up now. There are some interesting sites I've come across out there selling Viper rims and some that rebuild rims so who knows maybe if your resources aren't as limited as mine you could have the Viper Rims narrowed an inch.
If you ever get 'em mounted up privlidge us with a pic.
Middy.
