    Do they exist? I really wanna run some on my Dart. She's riding on stock 13s though. I know I know, switch to 14s. I would if I could get a hold of some 14in rims that looked stock and correct style/pattern. Anyway, do spyders exist for 13in rims?

  3. Darts have five lug on a 4" BP. Mopars do NOT use 4-lug wheels, danny.

    No one makes spiders in that early 5 on 4 inch pattern unfortunately. The 13" rims aren't going to matter, but the bolt pattern will. Might be easier to get some acorn style chrome lug nuts and a bullet cap to attach to the center of the rim, should give a similar look.

    doing what Squablow suggested would probably be the best way to go.
    These 380318198383 put it in the Ebay search are 3-1/8 dia and 3 tall. That might not give you much room between the lug nuts though. But a bit of measuring and a bit of searching should produce some that will fit. You would have to figure out how to hold them on the wheels and then get the chrome lug nuts or chrome bullet lug nut covers to go along with them.

    The original spyder caps had a tin plate that went behind the lug nuts and the cap was held on with screws.

    A bigger lug pattern would be easy as you could find some old hubcap lock pieces that were held on by the lug nuts and modify them to go under the bullet and then use chrome lug nuts or put some chrome covers on the nuts. And dummy me, I just sold a mid 80's caddy Deville with four of those on it that I was going to keep and tinker with a bit.

    Another Ebay link to put in the search 130471583296 These things were used with a lot of GM wire hubcaps in the 80's and you should be able to find some at the junk yard that you could modify to work with your bolt pattern and then put a stud in them that you could screw the bullet on. I was going to use the ones I forgot to pull off the Caddy to hold some hubcaps on using a chrome bullet in the middle.
