* Bolt Pattern: This is the most crucial factor. You need to know the bolt pattern (number of lug nuts and their spacing) for both the Jeep rims and the Dodge's wheel hubs. They must match exactly. If they don't, the wheels won't bolt on.
* Wheel Hub Bore Diameter (Center Bore): The center hole in the rim needs to be the correct size to fit snugly over the Dodge's wheel hub. If it's too small, it won't fit. If it's too large, it might be unsafe.
* Wheel Offset: This determines how far the wheel sits in or out from the wheel well. Incorrect offset can cause clearance issues with the suspension, brakes, or fenders. It's less critical than bolt pattern, but still important.
* Backspacing: Closely related to offset, backspacing is the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel and the innermost part of the rim. Incorrect backspacing can result in rubbing.
To find out for certain:
1. Identify the bolt pattern and center bore of the 2007 Jeep rims. This information is usually stamped on the back of the wheel, or you can find it in the Jeep's owner's manual or online.
2. Identify the bolt pattern and center bore of the 1998 Dodge 1500's wheel hubs. This information can be found in the Dodge's owner's manual, online, or by looking at the existing wheels.
If all the above measurements are identical, it's *more likely* to fit, but you still need to check the offset/backspacing to ensure there will be no rubbing. Even if the bolt patterns match, the wheels may stick out too far or be too close to the suspension.
It's strongly recommended to check compatibility using online wheel fitment guides or consult a tire professional before purchasing the rims to avoid costly mistakes and ensure safety.
