ive been told by my brother and cousin, both mechanics at a chrysler dealership. and they called me "retarded" for even considering the idea of using these wheel adapters on my truck :

the only reason im considering is so i can fit some of these mickey thompson rims that give the 10 lug look

any comments im not close to dead set on these and i can see where they would be dangerous but if i got the rims in the +13mm offsett would it take less stress off of my suspension components or is this whole thing a big bad idea? im open to ridicule on this cause it does seem stupid but if its doable im considering this. i dont offroad maybe once or twice a year but do drive on bumpy level c gravel at 55

 

I honestly don't see how it would strain components any more than wheel spacers (which they essentially are).

 

I don't think they are any more unsafe than wheel spacers. However I HAVE seen wheel spacers fail - more than once...

 

Your brother and cousin are correct, thats the kind of mickey mouse **** that will get you killed.

 

I have some wheel spacers on my truck because when I did my lift my wheels wouldn't turn without being pushed out and I didn't have the time or money to buy new wheels. But I've had mine on for a year now with no issues. But I also don't do anything crazy

 

well if i round up the money im gonna attempt this lol right after i get time to put the body lift in and get some torsion keys
