Wheel Adapters?

[1320VR4]

Hey Zilvia.

I'm looking for a quality set of 4 to 5 lug wheel adapters (to 5x114.3). I'm willing to pay for a quality set but there's so many companies out there and I'm really not sure what is good and bad. I'm going widebody on my S13 (no choice since my factory fenders look like they went through a wrestling match). Anyhow instead of having to buy custom negative offset wheels, I'd rather get adapters, which both swap my lug pattern AND space the set of wheels I"ll buy properly in one shot.

I was looking at these but googled reviews and the company apparently isn't reliable although there's no complaint on the product.

Wheel Adapters 4450-5450T Wheel Adapter (http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Adapter_4_Lug_4_5_To_5_Lug_4_5_p/4450-5450t.htm)

I don't want this to turn into a list of "just swap your car to five lug and buy the right wheels" If you've got several grand to drop into my drift car, I'd super appreciate the sponsorship.


thanks in advance for the help,
Matt

I love the quality of my Adaptec adapters. Great customer service too.

Wheeladapter.com doesn't change lug patterns with adapters. Does adaptec have a direct site?

they dont make that

This is a cheaper and better solution so dont be dumb and get those spacers http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/471829-forum-special-contano-5-lug-bearings-walbro-fuel-pumps.html

and u can get hubcentric spacers on ebay for 62 bucks a pair shipped

Would it be safer to convert to five lug and then get 45mm bolt on spacers? To get legit bolt on spacers are about as expensive as getting the adapters, or is the ebay spacers actually quality? (sounds like a dumb question)

Wheel adapters not being able to adapt wheels... Go figure.

Why not buy wheels that fit instead of slapping on some 2 inch spacers? Do it right, do it once. Five lug swap, wheels that fit. This is one area where you really don't want to cheap out.

Thank you for reading the original post. :wackit:

To fit proper wheels I'm going to have to have wheels custom made with somewhere around a -20 offset (stock is around say +20 wheels, with 50mm widebody fenders = -30 offset) however I can mount my fenders so they aren't quite 50mm.

I have no desire to spend thousands on wheels for a piece of shit drift car.

If it's just a piece of shit drift car go buy some wide steel wheels and call it a day, they're cheap as fuck and come in pretty much any size you could ever want. Throwing on a big ass spacer to change the lug pattern is just dumb.

The point of running a wide fender is not to run way negative offsets. The point is to run a wider wheel and tire. Just sticking a smaller wheel under there with a huge spacer is pointless.
