Wheel adaptors
I recently found a company that makes adaptors go go from 6lug to 5lug. Has anyone used these? I was thinking about getting them (would make it a lot easier to find good wheels) only hold backs are: cost, and how this might change the position of the mounting spot for the wheels.

How come I can find an 8/6 or 8/5 lug adaptor? Do they not make these for some reason cus they make 6/5 and 6/4 lug adaptors which also are removing 2 lugs?

I've got spacers on this. Had em for about a year now, put over 35k on this year and never had a problem. The rims on this are 18x8 Niche Bellas, they came off my boss's Lexus. I think they look good and can't beat the price either $500. hehe [img]http://communities.msn.com/_Secure/0MQA0RjYQUnyXRcVUnq!HTGcQdTDl1R!tA*rqCV08Gxe6bImOuzap2a17r6wm3YzkZxaZ!EDvktH9JZ2HQ8FEKw/TMP1.jpg[/img]

Desert Rat, those torque thrusts will never fit your truck, but bring 'em to Tucson and you can put them on the 66 Chevelle I'm doing the suspension on now. LOL! How you feelin'? Missed you at Pomona, did you get there? We didn't sell either vehicle.

you cant go from 8 to 5 or 6, the 8 bolt in 67-72 are fuill lfoater, the hub is in the way its too large, look at a 8 lug axle and you wil see why you cannot do it, you need to find a 1/2 ton axle to swap in to get your 5 or 6 lug, youll go faster with the 1/2 ton axle anyways, they are way easier to turn than a bigass 3/4 ton axle, think about it,,

Wrong. They make 8 to 5 and 8 to 6. Custom milled billet, special order.
