Looking for new rims for big blue and there is very little available, thinking of installing adapters to change it to 5 on 5.5. Anyone have any of these? pros or cons?

 

Pros:
You can change your lug pattern.

Cons:
A lot more wear and tear on front suspension components
This:






This is where people say "I've ran spacers for X years without an issue", then there's people like me who have them fall off literally 1 day after they were installed. To me it comes down to safety and my life or anyone elses life isn't worth some cool looking wheels. I'm a big proponent of just doing things right, weather that's compromising on wheels with the right pattern, or spending big bucks on the wheels you want that are blank and having the lug pattern drilled into them.

Every time I post that picture someone always tells me I installed them wrong. If I did then I don't know how in the hell I've never had a wheel fall off before and after that with all the tires I change lol. I always go back and re-torque the wheels after 25 miles, 50 miles, 100 miles, and 250 miles. Probably over kill but I have nothing better to do than making sure tires don't fall off on the freeway.

 

Just buy the right wheels or have all your stuff redrilled to a 5x5.5
