Wheel Adapter/ Spacer Question. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking of buying wheel adapter for my truck, and this is why. I have 4 good steel wheels that are 5 x 4 3/4 that came off the Bel Air. I decided I want to paint them red and use Spider Caps on them, but the spider caps don't come in 5 x 5 that I can find, but they do come in 5 x 4/3/4, so the 5 on 4 3/4 Steelies I have will work. I can find adapters that go from 5 x5 to 5 x 4 3/4, but do they make some that go from 6 lug to 5 x 4 3/4? Any suggestions on what to watch out for, and which adapters are good and which ones are not? As Always any help/opinion/advice/guidance is appreciated.
Thanks.
Shawn
