Default 4 lug - 5 lug adapter..

Anyone familiar with these? They claim to do the job and if thats the case i would rather run these over a whole axle swap/everything else needed to convert to 5.

I don't think I would trust those things with any serious power. They are only as strong as the six little bolts holding the twohalves together.

Adapters are ghetto.
Do the 5 lug swap the right way by swapping spindles and axles.

They are 2 INCHES thick!!! That's gonna throw the wheel to the outside considerably. It will look like crap and I wouldn't think too safe. I would pass on that idea!!

i already made that mistake once
i'll give you an example... i did that with my thunderbird once..
keep in mind.. these adaptors are only ONE INCH THICK, NOT TWO INCHES


how GAY does that **** look.. i was so dissapointed..
$1000 in wheels and tires and adaptors.. ($200 something for adaptors)
and i look like im rollin in the hood or something..
it slung mud, gravel, EVERYTHING.. all over my car.. i mean **** was landing on my ROOF


so i sold all of it.. (the guy i sold the adaptors called me back and let me know a year later that they BROKE while he was driving)
i got ahold of oewheels.com or something like that..
bought wheels custom made just for birds.. same 17X9 wheel, just different lug pattern..
check out the difference..
now the wheels all tuck nicely inside the fenders, and all the road debris stays where its supposed to

you could get the 5 lug swap at a junk yard for less than the price of those. the wheels sticking out that far would look sweet with some 13" wire wheels though.
