Default bolt pattern adapter

Do they make an adapter from 8 lug to 5 lug? I've only found 8 to 6...

I had some mint Outlaw II's (real ones too) that were 5 lug... I took a loss on em when I switched to the 8 lug chassis. Just put them on Craigslist and look for some new rims, or swap 5 lug axles in there.

i dont think your going to find anything, there is a company that makes two piece adapters to go from 5 to 8 , but never seen any going from 8 to 5, and theoes were alot of $$$$$

So... The 3/4 ton axles are free, maybe I can sell the 1/2 tons axles and buy new wheels. But i doubt they would pay for 5 new Dick Cepek DC-1s... Damn. Looks I may just try and strengthen up stockers. Whaddya yall think?
