Either way, I think you can measure and calculate and get a really good idea if it'll work like you want even before you start.

I do not know what the term "spider" Rim means... however I can tell you that these rims are for bias plys and the ones I ordered are only 4.5" wide.. although they do make a 6"

I will keep you guys in the loop of how this all works out... Ill make sure to take pictures of each step... but one thing to keep in mind each style of these old rims seems to have slighly different diameter centers.. I have some 3 piece rims that are probably a half inch smaller in diameter and the centers would be too small...

After I get the centers out, there will be some machining in order to get the center to fit...
