Adapter just means that the spacer bolts onto the existing lug nut studs, and then you bolt your wheel on to the studs on the spacer.

And OP, I think you need some bushwhackers! Those tires are out a little far for my taste. With the pocket flares, I think it'd be badass!

I'll probably only leave them in until these tires run out. I'm going to go wider (not higher 'cause I really like the way it looks) and they rub already and I don't want to mess up new tires, and the whole extra stress thing as well. As for the cops they are so-so around here. I've had two buddies that were fined like a week after getting their muds that stuck out like 1/2", but my rommate runs about the same offset I have now on her jeep and hasn't been ticketed once in 4yrs and she's ran the nitto muds and the terras. If you're famillar with the immediate area it's kind of just 680 you want to say away from.

To each is own, man. Extended track width/ fat tires are my thing. It isn't too practial for me to run 38x15.5's, so I settled on the spacers.

That's cool bro, everyone's style is different. It might look pretty BA in person, like someone else said fender flares would make it look good.

Flares are cool, but they would end up keeping the truck cleaner when I off road. Lol
