Hypoid Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 This is the set I put on my XJ: http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.com/Wheels/Adapters-Spacers/Rugged-Ridge/Wheel-Adaptor-Pair-Black-Rugged-Ridge-5-On-4.5-To-5-On-5-Bolt-Pattern-1.375-Inch-Thick-Jeep Like you, I had a set of take-offs. I couldn't sell them for a reasonable price, and eventually I needed tires. Since the JK wheels have deeper back spacing, the adapter spacing brings the tire out, but keeps the tread inside the flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I recommend Synergy adapters , but the other ones are good too. If you look in my thread I have the same wheels on my and Ï have them on my XJ as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I have the G2 adapters. They're cheap, but I don't see any issues with their quality. Just make sure you heed the warnings with adapters. Make sure everything is clean when it goes together, use the locktite, and torque check them within 100 miles, and check them every time the tires come off.

ComancheLee Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 That's how I want mines too look @dasbulliwagen, And I'm going to use red lock tight and impact the hell out of them @dirtyComanche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypoid Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 And I'm going to use red lock tight and impact the hell out of them :thwak: NO! Using a torque wrench keeps the fasteners within design loads, and keeps the clamping force even across all the studs. I followed the instructions, used blue thread locker and a torque wrench. I have had zero problems with anything coming loose over the past 18 months of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Chief Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That's how I want mines too look @dasbulliwagen, And I'm going to use red lock tight and impact the hell out of them @dirtyComanche Don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Yeah, no impacting lug nuts on. Just use a torque wrench. Make sure the studs on there are in good shape and long enough too; I had to change out the ones on my rear D44 because they were a bit too short.

Crash Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Using an impact to snug them one is not a big deal. A torque stick @ the correct rating would be acceptable, but torque wrench should be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
