Guest Zed Nugent Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I was looking at buying some preowned wheels , but they use adapters, which in itself is not bad , not ideal but selection is mighty slim without them these days, these adapters are 4 to 5 lug and 10mm thick , I havent seen them and cant find anything on the web about them, I was told they were from Japan and drifters use them , well they must be strong for that , I passed on the wheels but thought I might be hasty , 10mm seems alittle thin for 4 to 5 lug adapters to me , has anyone seen ,used , have opinoins on this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I dont even think a 10 mm adapter is possible a 4 to five lug adapter if made properly so it will balance is a 2 piece design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zed Nugent Posted August 2, 2003 Share Posted August 2, 2003 Yea thats what I thought also, that deal is gone anyway now so i'll never find out Next question , I have found wheels that are 18x7.5 5X120mm and a 35mm offset , anyone runnig a similar setup? I want to stay in the stock wheel wells, with stock front and ross's 240 rearsetup I know its done with 40mm offset,... looks like custom adapters/coilovers just like to get feedback if its possible before i splurg funds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallnet Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 i have a set of them in the garage. i'm missing a few of the studs. i have to make them, no biggy. they are thin and one of your stock studs needs to be pressed out and a longer one needs to be pressed in in each hub.this stud goes through the adapter and the wheel to be secured by both a small lug nut under the wheel and the wheel lug nut in the wheel. i hope i explained this right. kinda hard to do so without seeing what i'm talking about. they appear to be very strong and i like the idea of one stud going completely through both the adapter and the wheel with 2 lugs securing that stud.
