Wheel adaptors
So I'm going to buy adaptors for my truck so I can use the chrome rims I already have. The pattern I have now is 5x135 the new pattern I need is 5x4.5. Where is a good place to get adaptors? I don't want to bet cheap ones off eBay. And about how thick should they be?

I had some on for over a year with no issues, then suddenly my right front had one lug nut left securing my wheel and I broke a spacer stud off. Anywho, shouldn't have any trouble as long as you check the torque on the spacer and wheel lugs frequently.

Shotty install lol. I don't remember posting a video of how I installed them. The simple fact is, spacers put more pressure on the hub, increasing your chance of a tire falling off. Tell me how it's a shotty install, I'm curious.
I tell it when people ask about spacers. If I had looked up the problems, I would have bought the right wheels to begin with. I like to avoid problems, not watch people fall into them. I like to put as much info out there as I can.

Reading rainbow says it the best:
I run 6" wheel adapters just fine. She looks good but I have trouble fitting into parking spaces.
