You definitely would need adapters cuz they're different lug pattern. But I think they'd prolly stick out like hell even w/o the adapters; w/ the adapters they'd stick out even more. MAYBE not w/ the fender flares, but probably.
Those rims are bad as hell tho, especially when the ram's on the ground!

Well, adapters are either 100/set or 100/each from AIM. As far as sticking out, there might be some disadvantages, but mainly I just mention it for appearance; if u lower it, it might also rub more if they stick out. Where to find cheap rims... for a dakota... good luck. u just have to look around; if you're lucky, u might find someone whos selling their used rims. Drop kit: MANY PLACES. I suggest u go buy TRUCKIN magazine and look thru. call around the places in the magazine for prices. Hope this helps.

Thanx blakdak. Yeh, i don't think i've seen a forest green R/T, maybe i have. But i got a WEIRD drop, i don't know exactly how low it is, but i Love how it rides except that i'm c-notching it soon. But here's the drop: 3" springs from AIM with 1/2 coil cut off. In back, 4" blocks with a leaf taken out. All bumpstops are gone. Doescth Tech shocks: awesome shocks! Once i c-notch it & put alittle smaller tires up front, i'm gonna cut alittle more coil, and maybe take out another leaf. But since that pic, I got shaved all handles, emblems, should have done antenna, roll pan, painted front bumper, billet grill, and took off those black stickers b/t the windows.And interior stuff.
I'll be getting a digi camera soon, so i'm gonna be puttin some nice updated pics. :)

The SRT/10 had the 6 lug because they shattered the 5 bolt pattern(the hub, not the wheel) when they were testing it. Talk about scaring the sh!t out of who ever was drving the truck!

Well, the SRT/10 comes with the Viper's engine(sort of) and 6-speed tranny. & The Viper has the same 6 lug pattern as kotas, so they just gave that to the Ram too. But i actually didn't notice that til now. DAMN! FACTORY 24s that fit the dakota!! And it should be going into production that way. AND, they sould have some NICE HUGE brakes that might work w/ kotas. But if u wanted those rims on a dakota, it would jack it way up or you'd have some seerious cutting to do! But they might look pretty Badass on a durango. But that truck is gonna be BAD! FORD can take that Lightning rod and shove it up their ASS!!! hahaha.

Blackdak20, I love how it rides! it really depends on the shocks. I have doestch tech shocks, and it's just alittle stiff in back cuz I first got the shocks when it was a lttle higher so they're more compressed now, and i'm c-notching it soon so it wont hit the frame on bumps. I barely rubs up front. But 1/2 a coil isn't too much to cut off the springs, cuz it's cut before the angle of the spring gets steep. I'm actually planning on cutting a little more & getting smaller tires. But it rides great except over speedbumps and potholes, and it holds tight when on turns like haulin-ass onto turnpike on-ramps. But the only downside with 4" blocks is that there isn't much ground clearance under the u-bolts and blocks, but that's b/t the tires anyway, so it hasn't been a problem. If the hangers were cheaper, i would've gotten them, but blocks were cheap&easy, and haven't had any problems. As far as the AIM springs, I had DJM springs that an a**hole cut 1and1/2 coils on before, it was too low so i put these AIM springs. I didn't see any damn difference at all, and the AIM are $40-50 cheaper.
