It will depend on the offset of the wheels you are going to use. See the Adapter FAQ. Make sure to scroll down to the chart at the bottom of the page.

Wow, Andris renovated his website. It was about time.

I'm pretty sure that the 10-spoke SS wheels have 50mm offset.

You can go with 2" on all 4 corners, that should be fine.

Rebelracer,
We're back from vacation, and your adapters were shipped out yesterday (9/7/05). You should get them in 3 days.

Jade - It was about time to finish the new website! I still need more customer car photos to randomly rotate through on the main site

Inwo - Our adapters were "tested" last week by a customer from a few years back. Not that I'd ever try to test something that way...

Hi I bought a set of 1" 1/4 wheel adapters for my 1966 mustang a while ago. I was hesitant at first to use the adapters due to rumors about safety and other faults in them. I just wanted to write you guys a tell you that hands down your adapters are tougher than I ever could have imagined. I ended up rolling the mustang at 55+ mph totaling it(not due to any wheel or suspention related item). I bent my rear end on the passenger side a good 45 degree's from when the car laded its full weight on the 17x9.5 torq thrust II I had on it. I have some pictures of the car and the rims all smashed/demolished and some pictures of your adapters after as well. Besides the grease and normal dirt on them they look as if they came right out of the box! Send me an email if you want me to send you the pictures. I haven't re-sized them yet so if you want them BIG then just specify.

Thanks,
Chris Souther (happy customer)
