stay away from those, i have read about these things, and they can fall off the rotors very easily, it wont be pretty when ur cruising at 70-80mph in the freeway changing lanes and the thing pops out and ur car dragging on the highway out of control...haha maybe it wont be that bad, but i would never buy adapters, if you really wanna get a 5 lug, it is better to just do the entire conversion itself

The actually make adapters that are very strong. I know someone who used them on their truck to go from a 6 to a 5 lug. He used them offroading, etc, on a DD. No problems. I don't know the name of the company though.

Even if you can find ones that won't fail, they are an inch or more thick i believe so finding the right wheel will be even harder. I would doubt you would be able to find anything with the right offset.

If you are set on 5 lug, do a v6 brake conversion and call it a day. It might even be cheaper than high quality adapters and i would trust it infinately more.
