I guess I worded my last ques. wrong. The wheels I want aren't available in the 6/4.5 bolt pattern. Is it difficult and expensive to change to a more common pattern?

You can buy billet adapters with any pattern you want. A little spendy though

For the street, I guess that adaptor plates wouldn't be too bad. It tends to give you a slightly frog legged look, depending on wheel offset. Adaptor plates are known to break. Other than that it could get expensive, with custom axles and new discs/drums as needed.
That's what I figured. Probably cheaper to just get a set of wheels re-drilled and then seal up the original holes for strength.
I love Mopar, but it sucks how nothing is ever available for the vehicle I have. I've owned 3 mopars and I dealt with the same issues on every vehicle. You find what you want then its not made for your motor or bolt pattern.

Greg,
Contact this guy, FRED GOSEKE (pronounced Go-Ski.) He makes billet wheel adaptors. When I was having all those damn Get Screwed Motorsports fitment problems with those friggen' Viper Brakes, Fred was able to make adaptors for the Durango to make them fit.
Here's a link to his website:

Whatever you need, he can make it for you. Tell him Mark with the Silver Durango sent you. I'm not sure he'll remember me, but he should remember my truck.
Good luck Bruddah!

Be aware, as indicated above, even the best billet adapters break off studs, regardless of who makes them or how good they are. You're going from something designed for 6 down to 5.
I'd find something that does fit. There are hundreds on this site alone. Gotta be something you like.

I'm hearing you can buy the rims not drilled for lugs, the problem I see with those, you must be perfect to get the pattern drilled into those or your balance will be off and further problems, if done wrong. You must have a reputable machine shop do this.

you can get wheel adapters from 6x4.5 to 6x5.5 (chevy/toyota/jeep all use this on some vehicles)
I run 5x4.5-5x5.5 adapters on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, haven't had any problems with shearing lug nuts or anything. I got them from a guy on eBay?I forget which one, but it was like 180 shipped for 4.
