I dont know if they are available, but wheel adaptors are a hazzard. i have seen them used on something very lite with no trouble(such as a VW , or sand rail). on your truck, best bet is to swap the 1/2 ton pcs under the truck, if you want 5 lug wheels. crazyL

do not use wheel adapters. your better off just swapping parts and it will probably cost less than the damage of a adapter coming off. there was a guy that was using a 6lug to 5lug adapter and pulling in to the parking lot the wheel came off. caused minor damage but that is because it was at slow speed.

I doubt adaptors would work anyhow due the the large diameter hub of the 8 lug verses the not that large of the 5.
