Wheel adaptors
Moderator: Moderators
yes but not on a mopar on a VW van (similar issues with clearance on the wheel arch
just got some made up by a man with a lathe and a drill press
i wanted my wide 5 split screen van wheels on the 4 on a small pdc i had because i'd swapped to porche/late van rear end and late van disks at the front
Inch and a half fat so the head of the nut holding it onto hub could be recessed back far enough
then used wheel bolts rather than studs into the adaptor. i used a plastic (nut ring???? oooer) ring like buses a lorries used to keep track of any turning of the bolt heads...i didn't need to worry
i was lucky because the wheels that went on had spaces in the back so as long as i allways put them on the right way none of the adaptor to hub bolts got in the way
obviously wider track and the fact it was lowerd 6 inches made it a pain to take off the wheel when i had to unless i let down the tyre completely
oh the madness of youth
never lost a wheel never had to do anything up again and never had any issues.
however you will wear out wheel bearings quicker and your steering gets heavier which must give a bit more grief to the steering box. and your shocks and suspension have to work harder. i had no suspsension and what can only be termed as high profile comercial van tyres. so crap ride to start with hnce no difference
the wider track on the already top heavy van meant i could waltz around tescos car park on frosty nights without fear or it rolling
