Looking to find cost on billet wheel adapters 5x4 to 5x4.5 for all 4 corners.
Would like to be able to specify the use of 7/16 studs on the spacers, and would like to be at 1-1.25 in thickness.
Long version:
Potential new position at existing company, that sells aftermarket accessories (wholesale WD).
New position would be dedictated Wheels and Tires, searching for new business opportunities in W&T segment, and taking business from other distributors with current customer base.
If my job is SOLELY to sell wheels and tires, I feel somewhat obligated to run their wheels on my Dart. Might as well support what pays the bills, so to speak.
My Dart Lite is a bit odd. The "lightweight" cars were supposed to be big bolt pattern with discs front, 4 speed OD, etc. Mine was built before the change over, so it is small bolt pattern drums (3 speed manual).
I am trying to keep this car close to it's heritage. Keeping the /6 (mild hop ups), but adding 4 speed (MPG), and potentially an A body 8 3/4 (unless it sells).
The 4 wheel drums work, very well. Fresh hydraulics all the way around, master cylinder, etc. I do not want the hassle of swapping to big bolt pattern.
I have a vendor (Ultra) that offers a street version of Drag Lite, and Drag Stars, that I want to run (one or the other), but they do not drill in 5x4 pattern, but do offer several sizes and backspacing of 5x4.5, I can get away with a spacer considering the backspace and offsets we have, so I am thinking going to a set of these with Mickey Thompson S/T tires (replacement for BFG Radial TA) for a muscle look. Where and how much for the spacers?
