Default where can I find 6x5.5 to 6x5 wheel adaptors ?

Im looking to swap one of my extra sets of tbss wheels onto my silverado.

Where can I find them?

Ebay has them but they are not hub centric, I need them to be hub centric.

Anyone have a recommendation ?

If you want hubcentric you can either use add-in rings, or pay extra to have adapters custom-made to be hubcentric. You can spend even more bucks to have it hubcentric on both sides - to the hub, and to the wheel. $$$$

The next problem you run into is that minimum adapter thickness is going to be .75" or possibly 1", pushing the wheels out and making for a bad fit.

May be better to buy some repro TBSS wheels that fit your pattern already, and sell your originals to offset the cost. Of course the repros may not be up to the same quality as your originals, if you're super picky about that. I'm not personally a huge fan of repro wheels but there's a lot of people out there running them. https://factoryreproductions.com/sho...ahoe-suburban/
