Default wheels

Anyone know if the wheels from a 2003 Town & Country will fit on my 2001 Dakota 2wd?

thanks for the info. I have never had the hubcaps off my dakota. did not know they were six lug. I have only had the truck for two months. I am getting around 23 mpg with the 3.9 extended cab auto. Is this normal? Seems pretty good to me. Also, the truck has 215/75/15 tires. Would putting on 235's alter the speedometer very much?

I wanted to go with the larger diameter tires for better winter traction. Right now the truck spins real easy even on bare roads.
