    Ok, anyone know where i can get a good price on a set of wheel adapters?

    ebay wants 80ish for 2 and locally there $300.00 a set!!!
    jeesh.
    Need a set to go from 5x4.5 on the truck to 5x5 on the rims.

    Also, how do i figure my offset, if i cant mount the stupid rims?
    I need to get the adapters in the correct offset.

    na, i picked up the 16 inch 2000 jeep grand Cherokee wheels, i have a plan for them if i can get them to fit...lol
    The guy took 30$ for the set, its not like I'm at a loss if they wont work.
    There is a guy at work that will give me 60$ for them for his trail jeep.

    Going to paint the gold areas black on them and change the center logo.well see...
    If you had not noticed....i do things a little different then most...lol

    I'm still trying to figure this out...:brickknock:
    I honestly have NO idea what I'm doing here...lol
    I know all the numbers now, but its still all gibberish to me.

    Toyota numbers i know are....
    size 14 X 6, bolt pattern=5X114.3 bore=60.1

    and the jeeps are
    size 16 x 7, bolt pattern=5x127.0 bore=71.5

    I have NO clue how to figure the adapter thickness, but have found a few deals here and there.
    Give above info, I know I need 5x4.5 to 5x5, but don't know how thick they should be, how do i figure this?

    relief 4 your pain . . .

    I feel your pain man and I present to you some relief, this is an excellent calculator for you considering you know your bore and such, keep in mind a wheel fitment tool ( if you can borrow, rent, use ) is you ultimate saving grace. But everything looks fine to me so far with what you got, you just need to know where to measure from :clapping:

    http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

    followed by a really good wheel fitment overview . . . Mind you I did use this calculator with mine and double checked with other people and by using a wheel fitment tool . . .

    the rims are....
    Backspacing = 6.0" Offset = 50.8mm Bolt pattern = 5x5 (5x127mm)



    What are your adpters and will they work with this?

    What will i need if they dont?

    Yeah I don't know about that. the bolt pattern is different. I have 5x114.3.


    You have to find a adapter that will change from 5x114.3 to 5x123 or whatever. That's a tuff one.

    I'd just go with a different set of rims. It's easier that way. But if you can find that pattern, DO IT!!.

    Ok guys, i think I'm figuring all this out...lol

    with the jeep rim at
    Backspacing = 6.0" Offset = 50.8mm Bolt pattern = 5x5 (5x127mm)

    Is there anything i can get to make them work, or are they just not going to fit?
    Ive see to many conflicting #'s now to know...lol

    Okay man check this, whatcha need to do, like Toyo Trucker said is adapt from the 5 x 5 wheel lug spacing to the Toyota 5 x 114.5 or 5 x 4.5 and choose a spacer according to your measurements and your calculations, heres a good place to start, theres quite a few in there, if ya cant find some holla @ me . . .
