does anyone use them?
*5 lug swap conversion*

I thought. ...why..not just use adapters?

I seen 2 go for about $80 on ebay.

I have a ford 8.8 rear end 5 lug....front is 6lug...

cheaper easier to do adapters right?????????

The biggest problem with using adapters is the thickness of the adapter. Most hardbody guys swap to 5 lugs to have access to more wheels that will tuck. The thickness of the adapters reduces the number of those 5 lug wheels that will still tuck. That’s my take on it anyway.

i see. I thought it would refer to the hub but they look like they would still work.
my fenders will be chopped n rolled and flared. kinda like the Toyota hilux twin turbo ls nitrous truck that's 3ft high and 9ft wide.

I have them so I can run my 90m flares. Planning to have 17x9s all the way around when its finished.

when I say 3ft high I mean the from truck roof to ground.
imagine dueschy diesal max trucks. but remove the farm from it.

OK, I was wondering about the "fenders will be chopped n rolled and flared" part.

17x9s didn't happen. Went with 18x9.5s instead.
