Wheel Adaptes with Stock Alloys (Pics) - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

Would anyone have any pics of their trucks using adapters and the stock alloys. Also if you do could you let me know if the pics are with Protech, AOR4x4, Motorsports, or what brand and thickness of adapter.

Thanks

Should read Wheel Adapters, not Wheel Adaptes. That's what I get for not proof reading.
Thanks

pssst! the adapters you will find will be 1.5" wide, to clear the stock lugs...maybe a difference in material, but that'll be all...

Actually during my extensive searches I have discovered that some have used 1.25 inch adapters which did clear the stock lugs, that is according to them. I did find some 1 and 1/16 and 1 and 1/2s of course but I believe you are right about the 1 and 1/16s possibly not clearing.

Iv'e been wondering this for some time now. Is it possible to use an adapter say 3/4" thick and then get longer lugs to replace the stock ones. Then just tighten the hole thing up.

yeah, 1.25 is the narrowest they'll go...it barely clears the stock lugs with the adapter nuts.

sunhouse, what confederate is talking about is a wheel adapter, it bolts to the hub and has separate lugs of its own. it is stronger than a spacer, which requires longer lug nuts and is not as strong.
