[QUOTE="thru_a_lupe, post: 612940, member: 3538"] i have heard that if you are going from a small stud pattern pcd that bolts flat to the hub to a larger pcd that is not mated against any surface but is only bolted to the wheel , the torque of the wheel spinning or braking hard can shear the inner part of the adapter from the outer part... if that makes sense?! what i mean is that the 5 205 bolt holes and fingers of the adapter can break from the inner bolt holes via a circular force. dont know how much truth is in that statement and ive not had experience.... but i probably wouldnt fit as a result. way i see it is the whole adapter should really be sandwiched between the wheel and the hub/brake drum.
