Thickness

This wheel adapter set ranges in thickness from 15mm-35mm. As thickness increases, optimal mounting bolt and stud lengths are maintained. Required adapter thickness is dependent on the offset and width of your new wheels. Offset calculations are unique to each vehicle and wheel and should be carefully considered. If you need help calculating offsets, follow our technical guides to get started.


Wheel Studs

This wheel adapter set is studded with a choice of M12x1.5, M14x1.5 or M12x1.5 extended studs. Wheel studs are not interchangeable and should be carefully chosen before ordering. Each adapter is accurately machined to allow the serrated wheel studs to be pressed into counterbores from the hub side of the adapter. As thickness increases, wheel stud length and counterbore depth is adjusted to maintain the safest conversion possible. Grade 10.9 zinc plated wheel studs are used. All wheel studs are sourced from OEM applications and made in the USA.

Mounting Hardware

Each wheel adapter set includes (20) pre-configured mounting bolts. Mounting bolts are threaded M14x1.5 and configured to safely bolt the wheel adapter to the vehicle hub. 15mm and 18mm adapters include hex head bolts. These bolts are grade 8.8, zinc plated, and require a slim 22mm socket. 20mm-35mm adapters include short head lug bolts. These lug bolts feature a cone seat and shallow head which allows the bolts to be installed without protruding into the wheel. These bolts are grade 10.9, zinc plated, and require a slim 17mm socket. Hex head bolts are made in Germany. Short head lug bolts are made in Italy.

Mounting hardware is pre-selected to fit your vehicle. No configuration is necessary.


Lug Nuts

Lug nuts are available in two sizes and two seat styles. Size is based on your choice of wheel studs. If youre using M12x1.5 wheel studs choose M12x1.5 lug nuts. If youre using M14x1.5 wheel studs choose M14x1.5 lug nuts. Seat style is based on your new wheels. Most OEM wheels use ball seat hardware. Most aftermarket wheels use cone seat hardware. Dont guess! Check your new wheels before ordering.
