I am sure wheel spacers/adapters exist, but I wouldn't trust them.
Easier swap to Mopar 5 lug might be pulling a 8-1\4 from a Cherokee or maybe see if Cherokee axles and drums will fit the Dakota housing and backing plates....but there's no good answer for the front. Supposedly you can modify the upright for a ram hub and brake assembly. Me, I'd just replace the whole upright with one of a similar ball joint spacing, again from a Cherokee maybe or possibly a mustang 2 spindle might fit?

If you're going to run wheel spacers, spend the money for good ones that are at least hub-centric. Hub-centric and wheel-centric is better, but they'll cost you more than new rims that fit.
I ran 1" wheel spacer/adapters for a while before I did my SAS and for a while on the rear only before I switched to a Chevy rear axle. I never had any issues with them, even hauling loads and doing some mild wheeling.

They look good, except that they're lug-centric, not hub-centric.
