I purchased some 20" 6 lug rims, and am going to purchase some 5 to 6 lug adapters. What's the best brand? Best warranty etc. Thanks

Try shifted industries, BORA Is the best but I don't know if they sell adapters or just spacers.

Best to just get the correct rims.
Adapters/spacers are just all around bad.

LOTS of people run adapters and have 0 problems with them. Like anything else, problems occur when they aren't installed properly. With proper torquing and an eye out for trouble, you'll most likely never encounter a problem. Obviously the correct wheels are the BEST choice, but , the amount of available wheels for for 5X135 is depressing and some people are willing to risk it.

I am one of the ones who have had expensive problems with adapters lol. Yeah, don't go cheap, just get the right wheels to start with. Sure some people have had them for years without problem, and others of us didn't get to run adapters for a week before a tire flew off. Why gamble?

There are plenty of nice wheels for 5x135. If you can't find them then get them custom drilled.

Said no one ever. I think fuel is the only deep dish wheel you can get in 5x135, custom drilling is a hassle and more expensive than adapters. Just depends on what your building the truck for. Our trucks are incredibly hard to get offset on. My wheels on an 04+ would be crazy wide but on my truck they're not that crazy at all. Hate our body style sometimes...

Well, my adapters ended up costing me 1500 bucks lol. Then I had to go spend 800 on the right rims. I wish I would have spent the 800 to begin with....
