Wheel Adapters ?

Does anybody know where I can locate a set of wheel adapters that will allow me to use wheels with the Ford car bolt pattern (5x4.5) on my F-100 (5X5.5). Thank You

You might try some *Specialty Wheel Shops* around where you live first.

I doubt if you're going to find anything like this. In order to get that small of a bolt patterned wheel onto that large of a hub it would have to have an offset of something like 6 inches. You'd then run into problems of excess torque on wheel bearings, inside lugs, steering components, etc. I personally don't see how it would possibly be a safe setup.
