| Post subject: | wheel adapter ? |
I got some late model wide 5 wheel adapters from tim at southern buggy and was woundering what is the best way to mount them to wheels. I put 1/2 bolts and nuts on them tonight, but got to woundering if this is a good way to go or not. |

Typically the adapters have studs to mount the wheel and tapered holes to mount them with lug nuts to the hub. What do you have? |

oddy he is talking about the adapters like instigator makes, they are a 1/2 in. thick aluminum flat plate cut out with the wide 5 dirtcar wheel pattern on the outside and vw 4 lug pattern on the inside ive got a set also ( great product by the way ) but havent had the money to get the wheels i want yet, but i am just gonna use a grade 8 bolt ( 5/8 x 2 course thread ) and the aluminum lug nuts off of a late model dirt car to mount the wheel to the adapter but as far as mounting the adapter to wheel im undecided as to use a flat washer and nut or buy some of those coned out washers they sell for use with the sand type aluminum wheels and a regular lug nut ( providing my current studs are long enough, if not i will have to find some longer studs ) hope this helps |

I use studs and have a little clearance issue but I saw some on Racefreaks that were threaded in with no head on the back,,,,,probably better. |

i drilled and tapped the wide 5 part for 5/8 coarse and used loctite on the bolts. i then use late model lug nuts... for the hub side, i bought long studs from sway a way and had to get a half inch spacer off instigator then took a drill bit and shaped it to the taper of a lug nut and chamfered the holes of the adapter with it and run standard 14mm lug nuts on it..... |
