Wheel Adapters? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a nice set or Torq Thrust D's on craigslist, but they are the car bolt pattern. Is there a way to adapt them to the 5 on 5 truck pattern?

Google 'billet wheel adapters'. Problem is, good adapters add to the overall price of your purchase making it not-so-good of a deal.

I whole heartedly agree with Scotti and want to add on more thought. Most good Billet adapters add at least an inch. Now on my 20's they set in pretty good so that would be ok for a static drop but with my bags and DM I risk getting into the fender and need that inch.

Get an idea of the backspacing on your ebay set and see if you can spare the extra inch. If it's not right for your app. one more reason the great deal isnt so good in the long run.
