  • Wheel selection is important to perfecting the look of your ride. Sometimes the bargain wheels you find at the swap meet or a deal from a friend doesn't always bolt right up to your vehicle. That is where wheel adapters can save you a little coin over buying a new set of wheels.

    @summitracing - My friend has an import ricer with huge rims and low profile tyres. The offset is also quite extreme, and the tilted camber means he has a constant rub against the fenders. He has tried a number of spacers and adaptors to achieve the look he was after. My question however is - do kill just him, or him and his entire bloodline?

    My son has a 97 dodge pkup. We have a friend who has some wheels off of a toyota pkup. Both 5 whole patterns but the wheels obviously don't fit. I can get some adapters but he's nervous it'll make the hubs weak. I'd only go with like the 1/2 in. adapters so this wouldn't happen....your thoughts??

    • @jesusfreitas6964
      @jesusfreitas6964 7 років тому

      Edgar Cuen Yes. When working with wheel adapters please use Hub Centric. This helps remove stress on all wheel studs which when using regular flat adapters it placed stress on your wheel studs.

    Do I order a

    Or

    How safe are adapters? I heard they snap, wear down tire unevenly and wear down wheel bearings since it’s out more.

    • @SummitRacing
      @SummitRacing  4 роки тому +2

      Quality hub centric adapters that are properly installed are safe. Pushing the wheel out can put extra stress in suspension and steering parts, however it would be no different than using a wheel with similar offset.

    • @CJ_Sipe
      @CJ_Sipe 4 роки тому

      Summit Racing thanks for replying. Your absolutely right about the offset is the same, I didn’t think of that. Also lug nuts are a bitch especially having double with the adapter.

      Hi Johnny,
      First you need to determine the current bolt pattern of the wheels you are trying to install. The SRX has a 6x120 bolt pattern of which we currently do not sell an adapter to convert from a 6x120 bolt pattern to a 5 lug pattern.

      You will not need to check them every 90 miles. You should do this after the first 60-90 miles however, to make sure nothing loosened after the first few heat cycles.

    • @SummitRacing
      @SummitRacing  3 роки тому +1

      I am unaware of any wheel adapters with a 5x112mm pattern that well sell. You need to check with a Euro-specific company. You will need to compare the backspace of each wheel and then take into account the width of the adapter.

    Changing the back spacing is a bad idea, The alignment geometry will not be proper, and the tires will wear prematurely, even with an alignment.
