  1. WheelAdapter.com
    • VERY HIGH quality. *A real concern if you plan on any off-roading.
    • you'll pay for the quality. e.g. $$$$$
  2. MUST be hub centric. *FoMoCo centers the wheel(s) via the hub not the lugs.

Make sure to measure for exactly what size spacer you want and how much thread you have available. If it is a really wide spacer, you can get the lug to fit "inside" the spacer... if it is a narrow spacer, you may have to trim the OE studs! I've always been a bit nervous about this one!

The minimum thickness for a wheel adapter is 1¼". Anthing less than that and the rims' mounting flange will not make contact with the hub since the stud is 1½" long. Exception: If the rims' mounting flange has recesses between the bolt holes you could use 1", HOWEVER, you would need to trim-off the ½" unthreaded nipple of each stud. *Would NOT recommend doing this).

The maximum thickness for a wheel spacer is ¼". Any more than that and there will not be enough stud thread to safely secure the wheels.

+++1 those are great spacers that will hold up. Just be sure to keep an eye on the torque of the nuts on the spacers.
