Wheel adapters

[waffles04]

What's everyone thought on wheel adapters? I have a 04 wrangler and I love the new stock 5 Spoke rims, they do not bolt up soo I need adapters. In my mind they are they only rim that look good on a jeep but I'm on the fence with theses adapters any thoughts good or bad?

As long as they are torqued properly they are perfectly safe.

Scrub Radius (Kingpin Offset) If you draw your kingpin axis all the way down to the ground, and it hits the center of the tire at the same point it hits the ground, then you have zero scrub radius. If it hits the ground before the center of the tire, then you have your kingpin offset. Having too much kingpin offset (or scrub radius) will cause higher steering effort and stronger steering wheel kickback, as well as affect braking and handling. Changing your wheel offset directly affects scrub radius. Read more: http://www.superstreetonline.com/te...ber_caster_toe_wheel_alignment/#ixzz2loUnxAZI

I've used them with success, but I recommend loctite on the lugs holding the adapter to the wheel flange.

I have avoided them like the plague but recently I needed to run a 1.5" spacer on my SAS'ed chevy to clear my lower control arms at full lock. (Fingers crossed) I have not had a problem yet. Plenty of red loc-tite and torque to 110 ft-lb
