My new 20's

A couple of members wanted to see my 20's and explain what I had to do with the adapters. So here it is.

I wanted to be able to rotate my wheels so I had to order them with the same offset. I ordered all four 20x8 with a 5 inch backspace to fit the front. I knew they wouldn't fit the rear without a adapters, but I decided to do it anyway. Adapters are really against my better judgement, but the ones I am using are only 1.25 and I bought the best one I could get that were CNC milled.

The adapter didn't fit at first so we had to machine them out to fit over the end of the axle. I used all new lugnuts and loctite. I was impressed with the quality of the adapter over all.

The down side of the adapter is that the studs that come out are metric, so now my front and rear lugs don't interchange.

Here are some pics of my new 20's.
