2005 Dodge Dakota bolt pattern

The

Dodge Dakota’s lug pattern

is 5x5.5. You might be asking: what do those numbers mean? Whenever you’re asking about a vehicle’s bolt pattern, you will get values in the following order:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form.

Since the Dodge Dakota has a bolt pattern of 5x5.5, your wheel has five lugs and a diameter of 5.5 inches.

While knowing your Dodge’s bolt pattern is helpful, you’re also going to need to know the following to change out your wheel:

Factory wheel size: 16” to 18”

Stud size: 9/16" x 18 (9/16 inch stud with 18 threads per inch) or M14 x 1.5

How to measure your Dodge Dakota’s bolt pattern

If you’d like to measure your Dodge’s wheels, give it a try! Make sure you have a measuring tape ready to go—a ruler will also work fine.

Choose a lug to start at, and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt. Because the Dodge Dakota has five bolts, you can use the closest bolt across as a reference. Measure to the center of the wheel, and you will have its diameter.

Along with the number of bolts your Dodge has, this number will make up your bolt pattern!
