Default Wheel spacers... HELP!

I recently bought a pair of tires and rims and got them home to realize they were 6 on 5.5 instead of 6 on 4.5. Now I have these wheels that I love but they don't fit my truck. Is the only thing I could do now is get wheel adapters? Or is there another solution I'm missing? Money is somewhat of a problem so the least expensive the better. I found a pair of adapters I think would be good, maybe someone with more knowledge could give me some feedback... Here is the link

Thank you very much guys

Yes they will work for you. Just use lock tight on the nuts to hold the spacer on. I have heard stories of them unloose.

I wish I had known about these when I bought my wheels...but yea, I got a set for a bit more money from Cali for another purpose, and they work nice! Pending you truck, the extra inch of offset might be interesting with clearance..

Thank you for answering, but with them being only an inch thick Will I have to cut off some of the wheel studs? I'm kind of concerned about this.

They have 1.3" 1.8" or 2" spacers.

Look to come with the studs as well.
don't think you'll need to cut anything though as far as I know.
