Who make the best wheel adapters?

[superhondaz50]

As the title says, who makes the absolute best wheel adapters? I don't really wanna use them but have no choice. Looking for 5x5, 2", preferably hub-centric. Adaptitusa.com has USA made ones, even with 14x1.5 lugs to match my front rotors, but I believe theirs are lug centric.
Thanks

Never use adapters , Buy the right wheels or the right parts to fix the problem .

Well, my rear end is 4" narrower than my front assembly. I can run it as is but it looks funky from the back. I would need a 2" backspace rim, or a 4" wider differential, or wheel adapters. I don't think the first two exist.

I'm curious as to what you're wanting to run these on and what wheels specs you currently have? I have 6" BS fronts and 4" BS rears all on 22x9s and that looks pretty good on my '68. My point is, you don't need impossible to find wheels to eat up the difference in front to rear track width.

4" BS pro comp 16x8's with 315/75r16's

Front is perfect, back is really close to the frame and can rub, need them kicked out a bit.

Try wheeladapter.com. Fred goeske. He does everything to order. I gave him all my specs and he built a set for my 56 Packard that fit snug on the inside and was a perfect hub centric for my wheels. A few mic measurements and he will build and ship them. They are a bit pricey but I felt safer than some crappy eBay ones. Put 1k miles on them and no issues.

I was looking at his site, beefy steel ones. Price isn't a worry haha

Same problem as OP here. Also running a BFspacer.

Wheel adapter can make a pair for $190. I know factory axles have a center bore of 78.3, but am replacing the axles (old owner had long 73-87 axles in the short 69 rear end so they are barely touching the bearings), so I don't know what size center bore to order yet. I'm going with CPP or Yukon conversion axles if anyone has a set to measure.

Bora makes some very nice wheel spacers/adapters. They will make any bolt pattern and width.
