Question:

If you assume that wheel spacers are acceptable (within reasonable thicknesses) then would a bolt pattern changing wheel spacer (ie 5x120 --> 5x100) be equally acceptable, given the offsets were within spec?

Thanks all

yup

if you trust spacers that bolt to the hub (e.g. h&r 25mm spacers), there's no reason not to trust adapters.

Thanks man! You're very helpful, as usual. :)

So I guess the trick is to find the spacer and adapter all in one if you're gonna go that way.

no problem

my buddy was telling me about a shop that will make you custom adapters, so if you can't find what you need from the regular places, let me know.

I wonder if this is the same one?

I found some potential wheels, but they're 5x112. We'll see how it goes.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheeladapter.com/home.asp">wheel adapter</a></li></ul>
