logan1 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Anyone ever use these adapters for the 5-lug conversion on a S30? I would like to use these but want to make sure it does not have an adverse affect on my car. http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Adapter_4_Lug_4_5_To_5_Lug_4_5_p/4450-5450.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 i dont see why it wouldnt work. seen them before and someone here uses them but forgot who posted them. i wonder how safe it would be to use these on the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 There has been many discussions here about using those. I had them on my stroker L6, and my rb26ttz without any side affects. The only problem I had with them is the large black allen head steel bolts froze up in the alum threaded area. I'd be sure to use a thread anti seize if I were to use them again...

speeder Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I have also used them with no negative effects - The flathead bolts' allen heads tend to strip easily, however ... and I definitely second Joel's recommendation to use anti-seize. FYI: I have 4 of these that I intend to put up for sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boostiswhatsfordinner Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 So with these conversions hubs how much would it mess with your offsets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4nsm0l3m4n Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 So with these conversions hubs how much would it mess with your offsets? I believe these act the same way as wheel spacers, that is they will effectively subtract wheel offset. So if your wheel is +30mm offset and your adapter/spacer thing is 30mm thick you are running a 0 offset wheel, a 0 offset wheel would be -30mm with the same adapter, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostiswhatsfordinner Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Ok thanks. That makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
