Angry Wheel Help Please/bolt pattern adapter - Ticked off.....

Ok I ordered some of these late friday night and now they are telling me that they have never made these wheels with this bolt pattern!!!!

Then why is it for sale???????

Ok so I really want these wheels.

Who knows anything about bolt pattern adjusters?????

I think I can by a plate or something that will adjust the bolt pattern?

Are they safe? Any downside? Is it as strong as stock???

Any help would be great thanks!

man, that really sucks. i just looked on 4wp website, and they still list it as being available in the bolt pattern for a 20" rim. so i'd be pretty mad too. but, i don't know much about bolt pattern adjusters, but it doesn't sound like it'd be too good of an idea, or be able to withstand substantial offroading. i could be totally wrong though. good luck!

I know man, I think your proababaly right about the adapters. Probably a bad idea.

I've been looking around and I'm not too happy with any of the wheels that are available in 5x135.

I have even been thinking about my buddy that works at a tool and die shop.

Maybe I could mod my hubs? Risky.......

There has to be something I could do.

Hmm what would Jessy James do????? Probably have some custom rims built. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Can you have them re-drilled? If you really want em thats a way better option that adapters IMO.

At the very least the adaptors will probably cause fitment issues by pushing the wheel/tire outward.

I think I may be able to modify the wheels
