I don't see why it won't work. The new wheels are 5x4.5 bolt pattern. They are 18" and I happen to need to get rid of a set. I have a complete R/T set that are the polished split 5 spokes with brand new directional toyo proxes tires 255/50/18. They fit my dakota but rubbed when I turned.

Too big and too much offset. bolt pattern is the only thing the same. If you like the 17-18" look there are many aftermarket wheels made.

I swapped mine.....using PhotoShop though
The 20"s look out of place on the '69 but the 15"s look cool on the '08

Ugh.

Just because you can do something, it doesn't follow that you should.

Only thing that would look better is a set of D's
