Has anyone tried the 4lug to 5lug adapter?

Has anyone tried this? its cheaper than the conversion, but is it reliable?

it's defiantely cheaper than the 5-lug hub conversion. I've been running 4-lug adapter spacers (25mm) for over a year now without any problems, in drifting and autocrossing. My only concern is the treading on the studs. You might wanna look into it, but I'm pretty sure those are not for nissans. I think nissans are 1.25 or something. check it out and good luck!

Those won't work for a 240, stock bolt pattern is 4x4.5/ 4x114.3, not 4x100 or 4x108

Well, if you're going to use them on an S13, these won't work because they're not 4 x 114.3. To be honest, I wouldn't go for these for a couple reasons.

1) they're very thick, and most good looking, 5-lug wheels have low offsets. Put that together and you're going to have a wheel track so wide you'd need overfenders on top of overfenders to make them fit.
2) The thickness also covers up the wheel hub, so your lugs will not only be holding the wheel on, but also supporting the weight of the car. (Not a good thing). If you notice on the Ichiba wheel spacers, the thicker ones have a machined-in step, which essentially extends the hub, so your wheel is supported.

But, if you're building a show car, or a really light-duty backup car, then these will be ok.

ive seen these break more than once. they are pretty unbalanced left to right. wheels come off, studs break etc. also that would just suck to run high offset wheels just because they are 5 lug. if you want cheap 5 lug, bolt a 5 lug rotor to your 4 lug hub and drill the 5 lug pattern into the hub, and press studs in.

Ive had the 5 lug wheel adapters for more than a year and I beat the shit out of the car drifting and they still are holing up. I had to have the fenders pulled though because my tires were rubbing.

You're already gonna spend almost $200 on spacers, but don't want to just save up $500 and get the real deal?

I'd save for 5 lug.

Do it right the first time.

thanks everyone, im not sure if im goan do them yet but if i am i wasnt planning on using those e-bay ones i just couldnt find a good site to put up so i used e-bay..yea those look like crap..

to the guys that have been using them over a year: do you remember where you got yours from and what brand they are? i think H&R makes them if im correct but id rather use the ones you guys used. Does it tell you what torque spec to use or u just go by nissan torque specs?

thanks for all you feedback i think im gona go for it, ill let you guys know how it goes
