Is this even safe?

[Jesse J]

my truck came with some spacers/adapters 4.5x5 to 5x5 so they could put on some gladiator wheels(opinions on these bad boys?) and i've heard they aren't safe also the studs don't go all the way through the nut.

your fine.  run em. just check em once in a while to ensure tight lugs.

that are perfectly safe if it passes the 3 rules:

 

-quality product (used to mean top-o'-the-line only, but in the past decade the offbrands have really stepped up their game)

-hub-centric (meaning the spacer fits tight against the little bumpout from the hub and bears the weight)

-torqued to spec using blue locktight on the original studs holding the spacer (not on the new studs that grip your wheels)

 

no one else's opinion matters when it comes to wheels.  it's all about what you want.   also, the nuts cover the vast majority of the stud so I feel that part is fine.  just don't go jumping your truck.

the are axle and gear spacers never heard of them they are hubcentric and I will snag some blue loktite for them thanks. with the wheels I honestly have no clue I'm not a fan of how big they are might run some 15" black procomp steelies. could probably sell my gladiator wheels and buy the steel wheels with like 200 bucks to tires. this s really until I buy new wheels and tires once I'm lifted and regeared.
