Guide to Custom Wheel Adapter Design

Custom orders may be placed with our “Easy” Pages by simply entering Year Make & Model for both the vehicle and wheel side. OR design & order wheel adapters from the ground up on our “__x__”  Advanced Pages by following the steps below. These steps can also be used to order lug centric  adapters from our “__x__”  Advanced Pages.  Simply exclude steps 3 and 6.

Vehicle Side | Build to Specs
  1. Vehicle Bolt Pattern.  Enter vehicle bolt pattern first.
  2. Select Stud Size.  This selection determines the lug nuts sent with the adapters.
  3. Vehicle Hub Diameter.  Enter the vehicle hub diameter here. This dimension should be sourced from the guide, OR measured with micrometers or calipers. These measurements need to be as accurate as possible.  TAPE Measurements are NOT accurate enough to machine to.
 Wheel Side | Build to Specs

4. Wheel Bolt Pattern. Select the bolt pattern of the wheels to install.
5. Stud Size for wheel to accept.  Pick the stud size you would like the wheels to fit onto. Most customers want the inside and outside hardware to match.  This means that the Vehicle stud size & wheel stud size will match.
6. Center Bore diameter of wheel. Type out the diameter of the wheel center bore.  This can be sourced from the wheel manufacturer, OR measured with calipers or micrometers.  Local machine shops around you use these tools everyday.  This means they can measure center bores as well.

7. Thickness: Finally, select a thickness.  The thinnest possible custom adapters we build for safety are 1″ thick. Adapters can be made thicker to account for offset. Thus, a thicker adapter will push the wheels out further.  Thickness plays no part in strength or quality of wheel adapters.
8.* When installing a bolt on wheel spacer or adapter, trimming the studs will be necessary when the spacer or adapter plate is thinner than your wheel studs are long.

Lug Centric vs Hub Centric

  Hub Centric builds are “top of the line” and will fit more precisely than Lug Centric wheel adapters. Think of hub centric as “built to fit”. The advantage of hub centric is guaranteed alignment to center of the axle. This eliminates any chance of a vibration issue arising from the adapters or aftermarket wheel. Both the “Easy” and “Build to Specs” order pages allow for direct fitment to aftermarket wheels eliminating the need for hub centric rings. Lug Centric adapters are a more ‘universal’ type fit. They feature a straight through bore in the center with NO hub pilot or lip.  This design centers on the studs using acorn style lug nuts.  This design is recommended for off-road or trailer applications, or use with aftermarket wheels with acorn style lug nuts that aid with centering.(*at users discretion).  Use with OEM wheels is NOT Recommended. Use of Lug Centered adapters may result in vibration at highway speeds. For OEM Wheels, use hub centric spacers.
