I am looking to do a front disc brake conversion on my 71 Dodge Demon.The kit I have is a SSBC Kit A153. No one I have spoken to is sure if I will need wheel spacers or not and I am unable to locate any for a small bolt pattern. I would rather buy a set of spacers before I begin, just in case. If anyone has any spacers they would part with, please let me know.

You will not need spacers for the Cragars. The only wheels you would need spacers for is the factory 4 1/2 "wide wheels off of a drum brake car. I have never had an after market wheel with 4 " bolt pattern that didn't fit the Kelsey hayes brakes 4 piston brakes.

Those spacers that rat rod Al has kindly offered won’t work for your buddies 4.5" swap. The appear to be deticated 5x4" bolt circle

One thing you should know is all the new Cragars take a 60 degree conical lug . Not a shank style.. If using with spacers you may run into a problem with not having enough threads sticking through for the conical lugs. Just a thought I had you should check

Not all. Some of the 15x8 still take the shank style. I had them on duster.
The 08/61 SS series are still mag nut. The 61/C SS version is conical/bulge
 
I got a pair of 15x8 small bolt pattern Cragar mags from Summit that take the standard 1/2 long Shank sst style 7/16 lug nuts like old style ...not the conical seat....but did have flat spokes instead of round....they set perfect with a 275/60 under the wheel lip.up front 14×6 with no spacers
