Hey man, if you want to do it, then more power to you. My family has been one of Ohio's largest tire/wheel distributors for going on 30 years, so I'm not basing this off stories. The only difference between a spacer and an adapter it that an adapter can change bolt pattern. Both will still widen your wheel base which is the problem. Your wheel bearing was designed to be close to the axle, not pushed out. Besides being illegal in most states for causing numerous accidents, you also put a great deal of stress on your bolts and lugs. After having wheels snap from the axles in the past, we won't even touch a vehicle that has, or has signs of having had spacers/adapters. To say any spacer/adapter is completely safe is like saying it's safe to mount a wheel with only one lug.

I'll be putting mine on in about a month. They're brand new 2007-2008 5 spokes i had custom powder coated flat black with a red lip. Still unsure of which tire I'm going to wrap them in.

well thanks for that insite on them but in all respects i have never had a problem if you check them every 500 or so miles just like a basic maint kinda thing your fine . i have had them for 2 or so years now and i check them about every 500 miles for wear on the truck and to make sure the tourgue is up to par and never have any issues . its all in how you treat them you gotta check them from time to time
