Wheel adapters

Does anyone know where to get wheel adapters to convert my truck from 8 on 6.5 to 8 on 170mm? I am buying new tires/wheels for my truck from craigslist and all the good deals are on 8x170. I cannot find used 8x6.5. Thanks guys.

I can't think of it right now... There is always a place advertised in the back of the Peterson's 4 Wheel and Offroad magazine.

Or check Summit Racing, or 4wheelparts

Wouldn't that space your wheels out another 3" or so per side?

Would it be possible to get superduty axels and put into the rear end of the obs along with the drum?? I am having a brain fart on if the front disks have the wheel studs already in them. If so could you order some with the superduty lug pattern?

Do you put in shorter wheel studs to bolt the adapter to the axel flange?

That's the way I've seen it. Make the studs just long enough to no stick out past the adapter.
