Neckbeard Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Do you guys recommend adapters? like going from a 4x130 to a 5x205 or what ever. Also, if you use a adapter, does your offset change?

BeatBox Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 if you were to do it and go from say 5 lugs to a different 5 lugs bolt pattern i say go for it, they are usually cheaper.....if ur going from 4 lugs to 5 your better off buying the right wheels. the offset WILL change, they will sit out further since there is an adapter, witch will act as a spacer. if say they would be even with the fenders with out the adapters its going to sit mexi flush after lol i have some on the rear of my jimmy, they are 1.25in so that they sit out alittle bit and havent had a problem even when i had 24s, aslong as u dont buy cheap ones and install them the right way hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x91evo Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I just mentioned this in another thread,But HUB size is really important also.Adapters arent really a good idea if you do alot of highway driving they will ad some vibration unless they are hubsentric adapters (expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adapters arent really a good idea if you do alot of highway driving they will ad some vibration unless they are hubsentric adapters (expensive) you can always get hub rings aswell to make up for the space between the hub and the adapter we use hub rings on aftermarket wheels since most are double drilled and fit more than one vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
