Yeah that.. or just get a drill bit to create new holes..you only need 2or 3 to match up, it will roll just fine. I guess you'd still need a spare that could clear the calipers.

Figured out a solution. The bolt pattern on the Dakotas and durangos is close enough to slip over the studs. 6x114.3 as opposed to our 6x115. Picked up a set of 15" Dakota wheels with tires for $200. Gonna go out there tomorrow, take the wheels off, unbolt the calipers and just stick these Dakota wheels on the rotors alone since the rotors are 14" and bolt em up. Problem solved!

Leaving them attached to the car. I don't think they will let me pull out any of the factory equipment since its going to insurance.
