After doing a rare wheel conversion on my van, alot of Internet searches are just proving that its impossible to find adapters made already/you have to change the whole running gear set up so was just wondering whether anyone has used any companies for custom wheel adapters? Doesn't need to be Motorsport racing quality

Not sure Craig can they machine custom adapters? Just looking in phone and those only look like spacers?

I'm fairly sure that's doable as you can get 4x108 to 5x108.

You might have an issue though as ford use studs and nuts, which will probably stop it from beig possible.

I know you can get split piece adaptors but having them made the way i want i think is going to be more hassle than its worth! :/

Youve read it wrong buddy! The wheel is 4 stud i need it to be 5 stud! :/ Dont really want to pay all that out for them to be done as well the wheels are £500 plus tyres plus that just not worth it! I think il get my steels banded a little
