No they were not available in 5 on 4" bolt pattern that 69 darts with stock axles and front hubs have.

Spyders were available in 4.5" Mopar/Ford pattern and the GM 4.75" and I think 5" pattern too.

Of course you can swap your dart to large bolt pattern 4.5" disk and aftermarket axles/drums. That what I have on my 68 Dart convertible.

And I'm having the set of 14x6 Spyders shown below made to 15x7 with new chrome outer hoops made right now.

Good morning. Thank you and good luck on your project. After completion Inbox me some pictures. Have a great Thanksgiving
 
Who's doing your re-hoop work?

Yep, that 69 Coronet 440 is a very tasteful creation.
Looks like something the factory should have/could have done.

Collins Wheel in Bellflower, CA.

Spyders have steel inserts casted in the aluminum centers. Just like a Crager. So if your rim place can re hoop a Crager, they can do these.
 
One more question- what's the cost?

McKim is n Iowa IIRC so shipping might be better for me to use him.

All over the web, that guy seems to be the go to source on Spyders.


To the OP, I had one of my 14x6 Spyders on the back of my Satellite and the only issue was the specific lug nut requirement.

They take a n "ET style" (part cone, part shank) nut but with a shorter shank.

There's an ebay seller that hand makes them at $80 and up for a set.

I bought an ET set for $22 and am going to try milling off some of the shank.

To be fair, the ebay guy replicates the correct shape as well.
 
I have not tried the disk brake front, but I guess I should.

A factory 14x5.5 rallye is quite tight to the caliper but works fine as they were available from the factory that way.

Spyders did not come in small bolt pattern that 69 darts originally came with.

Have you converted your 69 dart to large bolt pattern?
