wheel adapters

[Vedette]

Why would you care about the bolt parttern match??? The offset on your trailer probably won't work with your truck anyway.
That kills the One Spare copout!
Go 5 on 4.5 like the rest of the world.
Odds are if you get a flat you will find something laying along side the road in the ditch....or at least just over the fence??
Quit thinkinfg so much and get on with your build!!!!

As I said here before, I have not carried a spare for over 35 years.
I just run good tires.

Hahahahaha no worries Brian I am one step closer I do have a frame now just have to wait as it is buried behind a rather large snow pile so I have to wait until it melts some but I did manage a pretty good deal as he will load it on the big flat deck and haul it to my house for nothing only need to get some wheels on it first as that is one of the parts that are missing from it and as for the bolt pattern I have the rims sitting in my living room taking up space so it would be nice to use them I don't care for the spare part but as I plan on doing a very extended trip with it when done I'd like to have all parts readily available if need be...but my plan is finally coming together

Are you looking for Green or Purple shag?
Be sure to check on both sides of the road, as sometimes they don't stock it all in the same place???

Please post pictures when you get started.
Steve & I have a head start on you, but the camping season is still a ways off.

Sandi says Rob must be single, as women hate car parts in the living room.
The ones that pretend they do not mind will not be around in a couple of years.
Good Roads

Hahahahaha you guys crack me up and yes Sandi is correct I actually have 2 complete sets of rims and tires in my living room and my back room is turned into my finishing room for some of the little projects that I have been working on. Ya I just have to wait now for the trailer to come in I think I will just collect parts and what not until it gets here I'm hoping I can put a big dent in it the day that it arrives there will be lots of work to do on it but I'm sure it will be worth it
there is .5 in the fridge

So you are on your second TD?
Sounds like you are the one of the most experienced members of our new TJ Chapter!

Two done so far, but I've got a matching set of wheels for my truck coming from a client who runs a junk yard and I thought I'd put a new axle on to eliminate the little tires I have on now. These things are never really done.

Eh I'm waiting till they do the big combine and we become The United States of Canexico
cheaper beer and better shoes

[droid_ca]

Yes I think you were dodging car parts or a flying cat.
Speaking of Hope I went to make reservations at a site up there and they have power, flush crappers, showers, internet and cable! I wonder if they have automatic fishing rods?

No they just give you a can of tuna and an opener

Check with A-DAPT-IT USA. They make adapters for just every imaginable use. And spacers...I have a pair on my '48 Chevy truck as the axle we chose was a little narrow. 1" wide on each side worked great! Towed campers for the last two years with the set up. Also used them for spacers on a trailer we needed a little wider. They are not cheap, but very high quality and billet...a must.

Now that is what I'm talking about, I have bookmarked it and once I get the measurements for my trailer hubs I'll know exactly what I need it looks like it might be around $102.98 each so that is not to bad.....especially if I get what I want. I talked to my mechanic and he was saying that the adapters could add some additional stress to the hub bearings but if I go with a deeper offset like I was originally planning then it should be fine.....Thanks everyone for all the great info
