I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota reg cab with the 4.7liter V8. It came with 245 70 16 tires. How can I tell if my rim is 16x7 or 16x8. I know that both were avalible for the Dakota.

Most likely 16x8... just my two cents, or you can like someone else has said, call any Chrysler dealer(Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler) with your last 9 of your vin( Vehicle Identification Number) parts dept. and they can look it up on thier Star Parts.

I assume you have 235/65-16 tires. The answer is "maybe." Generally, you can go up or down 1/2" in rim width and keep the same tire. Considering the tires is a high-aspect tire, it's likely that you can go up 1" to an 8" wide rim.

on a dodge you actually have to take the tire off the rim because the rim size is stamped in the inside center of the wheel. an easier way is to call the dealer with your VIN number and they can tell you so you dont have to go to all the trouble and expense.

what does your tire say? aside from that measure the rim and see for yourself- or just look at it. if it looks skinnier its a 7 if it looks normal size its an 8.
its probably the 8- 245 s are big

There should be a stamping on the inside of the rim with a size on it,

Any tire shop should have a rim width caliper, I know I do. Go to a local shop and ask them to measure for you.

Measure across the tread on the tire.

It should be stamped on the wheel or there will be some numbers stamped on the wheel that the dealer can decipher for you

It should say it on the tire.
