Tire & Wheel Spacers

I have a pair of F-150's, my wife's new '16 XLT Sport with the 18" Appearance Package wheels, and my '01 Lariat with aftermarket Discount Tire 17" Aluminum wheels and Dextero II LT tires. These are 10 ply also, as I had to put new tires on it when I got it in 2013, and we had tire problems on a trip from Texas to Florida.

On the Sport we have 18" DT Pathfinder LT's 10 ply tires since we pull a 6800# travel trailer. Not really happy with the Pathfinders but love the Dextero's on my truck. The problem is the Dextero's don't come in a 18" LT. We do an RV trip almost monthly, and plan on doing some long range trips in the near future.

Is there an adapter plate to change from the 6 lug 135mm bolt circle studs to the 5 lug 135mm on our wheels?? The Pathfinder's are terrible in the rain, even with the trailer on the back, and the Dextero's ride and wear great.

I thought we were going to use my truck to pull the RV, but with some bad RV dealer info, and a bad brake controller, we got the new truck instead. When we did use my Lariat it pulled and rode great, my problem was with the brakes. I definitely need to redo my entire brake system, calipers, pads, and hardware. The master cylinder has already been done, and a new brake controller will only be about $100. Right now I just use my truck as DD for work.

Not recommended. Find some decent tires in the correct size.
