Pic 2 are wheel adapters, which vary in thickness as well, but bolt onto the existing bolts (like a wheel would) and then give you new bolts to bolt the wheel onto. These are safe, and do not add stress to the existing bolts, and they give the wheel a new set to bolt onto.

as for this one, it's a little embarrassing, but still a fun pic, my dad said he paced off 108 ft...which isnt too bad for an LG4 going uphill (yes I did it in front of my parents house...that's what they get when they ask me to come home for the weekend)
