Companies like Spidertrax, Trail Sport, and Performance Wheel all specialize in wheel spacers and adapters that allow you to convert to a different wheel bolt pattern or space the wheel out from 1 to 2 inches.

Wheel Ready
So now that you know your ride's wheel bolt pattern you're ready to buy wheels, right? Well, not quite. Before you go spending dough on some new dubs that don't bolt up, you have to look at a few other items. One of the more important is the backspacing.

Backspacing is found by measuring the center mounting surface of the wheel to the outer lip of the rim (see photo). Too much backspacing and the tires may rub suspension components and the inner fenderwell excessively during steering. Too little and the wheel offset may increase wear on the front-end components and make contact with the outer edges of the fender.

Also, keep in mind that a rim's overall size, lug-nut style, and wheel stud diameter vary by vehicle. Before ordering wheels, always double-check the wheel bolt pattern yourself and consult with a wheel specialist who is familiar with your vehicle.
