#30108, "RE: Wheel Hub Adapter " In response to In response to 4
Originally posted by Star Turbo Talon As long as the adapter fits the hub as designed then ther should be a problem. I ran no rings in my hubs for 3 years and never had an issue but then again I tighten my lugs. The adapter CAN work its just a question of how thick the adapter will be and now strong. I have never used one but to design one for myself, i would expect to have to alter the stock lugs and use a very strong material. Not sure if billet aluminum would be the right choice. Magnesium would be nice but price would become an issue. Terry
Thats true. But since our cars use hubcentric hubs and wheels if he just buys some off the shelf cast spacers or adpators then it places the entire weight of the car on the lugnuts themselves whereas our cars were designed to have the weight of the car suppported on the hub itself and the lugnuts only job is to hold the wheel in place. They do make hubcentric spacers but they are milled and very precise so as to replicate the inner wheel "race" on the hub body. It would scare me to have spacers and hit a pothole, but thats just me!
