If you guys think about it for a second, what's the problem with this spacer adaptor?

There are guys running 25mm or even 30mm bolt on spacers which are 2 pieces. 1 piece goes on your stock wheel studs right on the hub, then the 2nd piece bolts to that first piece, with new wheel studs sticking out for you to bolt your wheel onto.

Same principle here for this 4 lug to 5 lug bolt on spacer/adaptor, except it has 5 bolts on the outter piece of the adaptor instead of 4 lugs.

The companny Wheel Adaptor, which has a website at www.wheeladaptor.com, makes these adaptors for dual trucks all day long, and those trucks see a lot more force at the wheels than you guys will on a drift/auto-x/road racing car seeing as they have to haul heavy shit everywhere with their trucks, and the trucks themselves aren't light. Not to mention, torque's what breaks things, and those turbo diesel trucks make ridiculous amounts of torque, low end torque, like 600+ ft-lbs @ 800 rpm.

So I'd say you drift on them all you want. Just make sure all the bolts/nuts/lug nuts are tightened enough before you do.
