I'M LOOKING FOR A WEBSITE OR SOMEWHERE TO BUY A SET OF WHEEL ADAPTORS FOR MY 2006 F150 SUPERCREW 4X4. I WANT TO GO FROM A 6 LUG PATTERN TO AN 8 LUG PATTERN. I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE NEW 08 SUPER DUTY WHEELS. I THNK THEY WOULD LOOK GOOD ONMY TRUCK. CAN SOMEONE HELP?

 

IMO any better tire shop should carry these... try to look-up something locally...

 

My experience with adapters is uneasy.

Make sure the quality is there - the ones I bought way back when consisted of a pot metal ring with the new wheel studs. The ring was bolted to the original pattern, then the wheel was bolted to the studs on the ring. Just wasn't real confident in the integrity of the ring. Also, it makes the wheel stick out about 3/8" more. They worked OK, just had a nagging concern on extreme driving events. Hopefully things have improved in design over 20 years.

Also, not sure if the geometry will suppost going from 6 lugs to 8????

 

Why Are We Yelling?????

 

BECAUSE IT MAKES PPL LOOK AT OUR POSTS!!!!

 

THATS THE WAY I TALK, SORRY. WELL BEING THAT I AM A POLICE OFFICER, MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO RAISE MY VOICE, but for you I will lower it.

 

with all due respect, if you have to use wheel adapters, its not meant to be and probably shouldnt be done....like a tube top on a fat chick.

 

onion rings not belly rings?

I know that quite a few diesel rims are now being made in a 6 lug bolt pattern now, you just need to look around, and check out your options.

If you can get us a pic of the rims you want, we might even be able to help you find em.

 

now if you install these adapters/spacers your wheels will stick-out about 1.5" to 2"... then you will have to consider rims with a different backspacing to make-up the difference.

just a thought

 

ok i bought a set or 20's for my 98 f150 the problem i have is i need to put tires and i think i need adapters for them to bolt up i know the rims r 5x 115 do u know what my truck has for a lug patteren and what is the best way to go.
