22" rims on 92 f150 HELP
So I bought a set off chrome 22"s for my 92 xlt and the bolt pattern is 5x5 on the rims. My trucks lug pattern is a 5x5.5 I ordered adapters 5x5.5 to 5x5 & was going to have my custom rim shop install them. They told me it would be no problem but since the adapters sit 1.25" wide the rims would not be hub centric making them lug centric (only supported by my lugs). Which they said would cause vibration when driving.... my question is can I buy new hubs for my truck that are 5x5 instead of the stock hubs (5x5.5) so that the rims will be hub centric???? The way the rims are I don't see a possibility of redrilling to make them 5x5.5 & I'm worried if I use the adapters the vibration will loosen my lugs... I've already had a rim fly off of my last truck. Don't want that again. If anybody knows about this I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks forum!

If the adapter has an indented ring to center on the hub and then a protruding ring to center the wheel, you could use 12" wide adapters and still be hubcentric.
I can only imagine how fast you'll blow through wheel bearings.
