Default order 5x5.5 instead of 5x5. what to do?

so i came back hoe today and got my wheels i order from summit racing.

cragar soft 8 ... obviously

but i made a mistake and ordered 5x5.5 ... instead of 5x5.

it cost me 137$ plus 45$ of shiping so 180$

i will not return them to expensive cause its gonna be 3x 180$

( first delivery 180 plus return 180 plus reorder 180.. 540$

thats 10 time a wheel at 54$

so what do i do. do i try to sell them and loose some money or.. i order 5 wheel adaptor. 5x5 to 5x5.5


and where do i order that.

im so down right now you cant imagine. and im so angry at myself for this mistake.

5x5 is the right bilt patern right ?

any sugestion wanted.

thanks and sorry for my english

Yes, 5 x 5 is the correct bolt pattern. I have not seen adapters to go to 5 x 5.5 yet. IMHO I think you should just sell them and cut your losses as best you can.

5 on 5 is the correct lug pattern for the JK. You could order wheel adapters from Northridge4x4 to convert the JK wheel to the 5 on 5.5. Or you could upgrade to Dana 60 axles as most of them run 5 on 5.5 lug pattern, but it would be cheaper to go with the adapters.

lol, oops. I guess I spoke too soon...

There is always the Solid Spintec conversion too. That makes things 5 x 5.5 A bit more expensive than spacers though

Those may work and are a little cheaper, but without having a manufacturer's name on them it is somewhat difficult to presume the quality. The Spidertrax are top of the line with a very good reputation for quality.

Have you contacted Summit? They're customer service has always been very good to me and they may be able to help you out. It's worth a shot at least.
