4 lugs to 5 lugs conversion spacers

http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Ada.../4450-5450.htm

Has anyone used these before? I bought a set just to check out what it is all about. The construction looks sturdy and looks to be good quality material.

It's good to kill two birds with this as it gives you 5 lugs conversion plus you can go widebody.

Yeah, conversion is far better. These are really more an option for cars with super low offsets, odd bolt patterns, and no conversion options. I have seen a number of people use these on old Z cars, but really no good for a 240

Have they any complaint or issue with them? I am just worry bout tendency of failure. It's not cool when wheels flying off car at 70mph goin sideways...

Not, have not heard of quality ones failing. Its a pretty sound item in those terms.

It does also make it so you have to run a much higher offset, usually about 25 higher. So if you could fit a 18x9.5 +20, you now have to go with a +45 which means no dish

not in my case...

I am widebody 50mm over on all 4.

Sounds like this will work for me. I guess all that's left is sell my current rollers and get those new ones in 5 lugs I want...

thanks..
