I think you're mixing wheel and tire sizes.
You could go with bigger wheels - say 18x8 in front and 18x10 in back, but you'd have to make sure on the backspacing.
At stock ride height, you could easily fit 31x10-16 tires, which are 31 inches high, 10 inches wide and fit a 16 inch wheel.
Check the Bridgestone web site for alot more info in this.
Also, don't forget the goofy 6x4.5 bolt pattern limits your options in aftermarket wheels.

The biggest tire that you can fit on a Gen-III Dakota (2WD) is a 30" tire. 31" will require some sort of Body lift and a 32" tire will require suspension + body lift for proper clearance. I went from a 28", 30", 31" and then 32".

I own a 99 Dakota sport with the optinal 15x8 rims.I just installed R/T fender flares. I need to know what's the widest tire I can replace my 255x65x15 to give me a wider stance? My truck has the stock height, but I am planning on lowering it 2"in front and 3"out back. If anyone knows please get back to me.

295x50x15 is popular, but 275x60 is prob more realistic. I had 255/60 on my 15x8's.
I have some pics of them on my page if you want to see
