Adapters

[Minitrucker]

Do they make wheel adapters to go from a Ford F-150 pattern to our S-10 pattern. If they do I can get some Weld Racing rims with Nitto 255/50/17 at a damn good price.

what about adapters to go from 99 camaro ss wheels to a 2wd s10? i am talking about the kind that bolt to the hub and then have pressed in studs that you botl the wheel too?

you don't need adapters for a camero wheel. u need a spacer. still not the idea situation, but a hell of a lot safer than an adapter.

the front is what you have to worry about with adapters and spacer. You put allot more stress on the spindle causeing premature beiring wear and can cause break the spindle. In fact it quite common to break a spindle with adapters. What people don't know is useing a backspaceing more or less than what was offerd factory(this will include the options on that P/N) can put stress on the spindel as well. the 0 offset wheels of my day taught us this lesson.

Take it from someone that has used adapters on an S10 before, don't do it, it does put some serious stress on the spindle and I replaced the bearings on one side 3 times before I said F-this and put some IROC wheels on mine till my money tree grows in the backyard. But its all up to you, thats just my opinion.
