Wheel adaptors?

I've got a great set of American Mags with the 5 bolt pattern on my '78 Dodge, that I want to put on my '73 F-100. In the past I've swapped this way as many 5 bolt Dodge and Ford wheels will swap. But the 5 bolt pattern on my F-100 is a bit bigger!! Guess it's a truck thing! I've been hearing about wheel adaptors, but in the past I always heard that they are not safe! Wadaya all think???

Only heresay but they tend to loosen as you drive down the road. The adapters that is. I'd stay away from them. Sell the old rims and get a new set.
