Wheel Adapters

[72f100]

My neighbor recently put chrome smoothies on his '66 mustang and he gave me his old set of wheels which are pretty nice. The problem is, they are a 4 lug pattern and my wheels are 5 lug. Anyone know where I can get adapters to go from 5 lug to 4 lug?

Thanks,
Matt

Good luck. I havn't heard of such an adaptor, but maybe someone else here has.

Take my advice and don't do it. If you want custom rims, then sell those and buy some with the proper bolt pattern for your truck.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm curious, however, what problems can occur?

If you are going to drive the truck, you could have a bad experience
using adaptors. If it's a show truck, well that's different. Best way- get
the wheels that fit and use the best fasteners you can find. A lot of the
chrome lug nuts have casting in the threads. They can tear a wheel stud
clean off with a good impact. If your not sure, use a 3/8 drive speed
handle and socket to run them down. Test fit all aftermarket stuff. Some
of it's great stuff! Some of it's no good.

Thanks guys. I'll sell the rims and by a new set. Anyone ever pickup a set of Cragar Chrome Soft 8's? Also, what backspacing and width would be best to get?

Thanks so much for the help,
Matt
