Has anyone tried to use wheel adapters to put f-body 5 lug rims on a ls1 truck? If so were is the best place to get them and what would i have to do to make my 17" ws6 rims work on the truck(spacers?) Thanks Josh

 

PM red53gmc he has C5 wheels on his truck and got his adapters for some place in N.O. i believe

 

chassie tech will make you a set of adaptors

 

Are there certain brands of adapters to stay away from due to cracking or poor quality? How much do they usualy cost? does chasis tech have a web site? thanks Josh

 

Thanks red53gmc for all the info. I think that will be my best bet since i have a set of pro stars with slicks in the same bolt pattern and my ws-6 rims have just been sitting collecting dust for the past year. Josh

 

I wouldn't run the adapters at the track, I don't. Don't want to take that chance.

 

I had a 2piece adapter break on my '00 chevy only a few miles after installing them with my 17x9.5 Enkei Win wheels I had left after I sold my T/A. Did about $1200 damage=A-arm,spindle,rotor,rim. Wasn't pleasant when it broke at 70mph..

 

These are billet adapters and are pretty strong. I drive ***** to the wall all the time and haven't had a problem. And I do look at them every now and then just to make sure.

 

Mine were billet, but I guess the bolts were not strong enough. Think they were 9/16 or 5/8 though.
