8 to 6 Lug Conversion. Wheel adapters proper install
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- I did a 3/4 ton axle swap, which is awesome because now I have a 14 bolt rear end and it’s heavy duty, but now I have 6 lugs in the front and 8 in the back and i want to use my old rims and tires, so I got wheel adapters! They run for about $130 for 2 and give me 2” of spacing match the front. These ones for Chevy are 8x6.5 to 6x5.5

You should really Lock tight and torque the adapter to the hub (drum-rotor)after you clean it up a bit with a cookie disc or wire brush.
I have been looking all over the internet for these. where did you get them?
It is a Drum not a rotor, also never put any lubricant between a rim,spacer and the drum. Also torque down the Allen headed set screws
Great video, thanks for the info! I was having a hard time seeing how they would fit and didn't want to order them. Now I understand!! Thanks!
I cringed when you didn’t clean/prep the surface of the drum before you put the spacer on with anti-seize and then when you put the nuts on the spacer and didn’t use a star pattern it made me cringe as well, I hope they held up though, hopefully they didn’t fall off. You gotta be extra careful with spacers.
You must not realize he said he's installing on a Chevy NOT A FORD!!😂
How messed would it be if I got these then did 6to 5 🤣
I mean if you have some rims you want on your ride then not at all.
How have the held up? I’m a little concerned about the Allen bolts holding the weight up.
Agreed
They did great! Handled a lot of off-road and tire killing burnouts, lasted for the year I had it.
Will it make the wheel stick out a little bit?
Update On These? How Are They Doing You This Far?
Crazy how every ody know everything but really know nothin 😂😂😂😂 nice job
Where did you get the adapters? I’m trying to make my truck into 6 lugs it’s currently 8 lugs

So the small screws are holding wheels on? Seems safe.

Please tell me I’m looking for some adapters now
I can’t give you a direct link, but I can tell you how to find them. Just look up -
8x6.5 to 6x5.5 Wheel Adapters.
Put that into Google and go under Shopping and make your choice of vendor.
I believe for a set of 4 they’re running about $300. Be sure to go back and tighten them after driving awhile.
@@enginebuzz5741 cool i found some Ez Had some
I will purchase for my Hummer h2, is it save to use for off-road???
Where did you get these?
Where did you order them, I need center bore to fit on a 14 bolt
Good job and nice boots....what are they?
So your saying that once you put the spacers on the rear, the front and back axle length to the wheels matched?
Did you install a matching 2" spacer only on the fronts?
Donde los puedo comprar!?
So those Cone shaped lugs are for Lug centrics, and your 8 adapter had flat bottom holes for Hub centric Lug nuts, not supposed to mix...Yikes...
We’re you both the spacers from
Have u had any problems with this?

Yea I had to trim about 5/16” to 1/2”
Why wouldn’t you just replace the front wheel bearings with the 8 lug wheel bearing
I considered that at first, but the 6 lug is wheel bearing has 3 bolts to secure it where as the 8 lug has 4, thus not interchangeable. The only alternative is a axle swap but not everyone has the equipment, time, or money to do it, making this the cheaper and easier option. She lasted awhile as well, with plenty of off-road abuse.
Will they work on a GM 14 bolt full floater??
How i can change 8 to 5 lug?
Can u drop the link to those wheel adapter
I can’t give you a direct link, but I can tell you how to find them. Just look up -

Why'd you put a semi float 14-bolt in the rear it's not any stronger than what you had in there
Much stronger than the 8.5 10 bolt
look unsafe to me ,would not want my life depending on that setup.
