5 lug to 8 lug swap

[reefkrazy]

Is it worth swapping my 5 lug to 8 lug to fit these f250 rims? I found adapters but not sure if it's safe? Here are the rims...

I run rear spacers on my xj to gIn what I lost width wise in swapping in a ford8, 8. Be sure they aren't cheepies. And torque and retorque them every 100miles fore 3 or so times. I've had them 3 years and not an issue. I beat my jeep in the rocks like a redheaded step kid

personally no i would not do it.

I take it you have run them with problems?

 

[reefkrazy]

I think they look bad ass! I'm just going to sell them and see if I can get 600 for them?

I run adapters to fit my 22's on mine. But they are 5x135 to 5x150. I retorqued them after 25 miles and never had a problem.

my biggest worry is the 5 to 8 swap and centering them

I would agree with Alaskan. If a spacer does happen to fail (very small chance it would, but with the changes in stress, is a possibility), there are no second chances...

The spacers / adapters you want need to be hub-centric. Otherwise you'll never get them centered up correctly.

for the cost of the spacers it's not worth it.
