wheels adapters
Hi all not been working on cars for a while & thought ad upgrade first build on a few things so Ive never liked the 4 stud wheels bought a new set of 5 wide all 4.5 in width with wheel adapters but fit great on rear but got discs on front & they wont fit because caliper is proud of disc by about an inch SO any ideas? apart from shelling out on pricey 5 wide disc conversion

About time you got your hands dirty Olly . Might have something at home that'll do the job. I'll have a look when back from work.

Hi Olly think these are what you need. I had theses on mine in the early early days of the chassis build with disks up front also.. they add an inch either side to the track.

Re: wheels adapters

Re: wheels adapters
Wow great work Heb mmm because wheels are chrome unable to do that but only other way is to see if i had the adaptors like yours Rich with a shortend beam & tyre change ????

Re: wheels adapters
Those adapters and a shortened beam should do the trick without a tyre swap? Will you do the beam yourself??
