I'm no Dakota expert, but I believe 91 was the first year the 318 was offered and 91's have a weird 6 lug bolt pattern. I know this because I have one.

Yep, my research says that the 318 was used from '91 to '99 and the 360 was used '98 to '03. The '97-up Gen II uses a wider track though and I don't think if would look as nice as the Gen I on the old International. I couldn't find the front and rear track for the International, but I'm guessing that the Gen I Dakota would be a close match. If it turned out a little wide or a little narrow, wheels with a different backset could be used to match up to the International track a little closer and position the tires in the wheelwells width-wise a little better.
