I've been running wheel adapters for roughly two summers now on my stock wheels and switch over to my aftermarket wheels in the fall/winter. I have had absolutely zero issues with mine. When I mount them up I use loctite on the original studs. But when you first mount them ensure you remove the retaining clips from the factory studs first before mounting.

I think people get caught up in the name to much. Most people on here mean spacers because your spacing the rim out further to avoid rubbing.
I guess you could say I had both at one point. I had 1.5inch spacers but they were made to fit CJ rims that were 5.5inch studs. 5"x5-5.5"x5. Anyways i didn't trust the aluminum studs that came with them so swapped them out with steel oned. |
Don't adapters change the bolt pattern and spacers just move the wheel out?
Either way, My local Discount Tire just told me they CAN work on your rig if it has high quality bolt on spacers/adapters like Spidertrax. They won't touch your veh if it has stud spacers (washer type on each stud). He further stated they must already be installed. They won't install for you. |
they use spidertrax spacers in KOH that should tell you something. I have been running Spidertrax for 3 years and 60000 miles and never once had a single lug nut be loose when rechecking them per spidertrax's instructions.

KOH? Please educate. Thanks.

You're talking wheel adapters. I put 1.25" wide ones on the Wife's, but I won't let anyone touch the wheels. I'll do my own maintenance and rotation of tires to be certain they are handled properly.
