All wheel adapters does is allow you to use a different bolt pattern on a vehicle. It will move the wheel mounting surface out the distance of the adapter.

wont affect handling one bit, might put a little more stress on your wheel studs but thats about it.

Just make sure you use quality adapters. NEVER use the cheap cast adapters. They are very prone to cracking....
