Wheel adaptors

Are wheel adaptors a good idea an does it put a lot if stress on your wheel bearings an also how many mm does it have to be flush. Or would extending the studs be a better idea ?

Hubcentric adapters are the best choice of you can get them.

As for the flush aspect, it all depends what Offset and width your rims are.

There are several companies that will make ones from scratch, ive priced it out and they are about $400 shipped for the set. with a 4x100 bolt pattern it really doesnt make sense to do. There is a much larger wheel selection for 4 lug any how. Not to mention you going to pay $600+ for TC wheels its just not cost efficient.

If you want to run ss/tc wheels save the money, swap the hubs and the brakes to ditch the drums in the back.

I've been running adapters for years now, no issues. For 4 to 5 lug they will need to be very large...wouldn't recommend that. Find some aftermarket wheels you like, tons available in 4 lug.
