Good luck finding a shallow enough lug nug to fit within the <1" spacer. Yes, they make 'custom' shallow lug nuts but even they aren't enough on some wheels (ask me how I know ).

Re: 5x5 to 5x4.75 bolt pattern?
They offer a 7/8" adapter as the narrowest available so thats what I got.
But..... there was no mention that shallow lug nuts would be required if the wheels being used did not have 'reliefs' on the mounting surface. TT2's do not have the reliefs & the search was on for the shallow lugs. After receiving in the more expensive shallow lugs, they weren't shallow enough & the wheels still would not sit flush on the adapter. The solution was an 1/8" spacer between the adapter & the wheels mounting flange which is why 1" should be the minimum cause I still had to buzz the ends of the lugs/studs w/the grinder to keep things from contacting each other. Frustrating experience......

Re: 5x5 to 5x4.75 bolt pattern?
So what do you think is the best way to get 4 3/4 bolt pattern? Should one have his rotors redrilled or use the billet adapters? Also do you think i will have a problem with the wheels rubbing on the fenders with the extra 1" wide per side? thanks Josh

I used the adapters because the TT2's on my truck were purchased w/the intention of using them on different vehicles (cheaper to buy 1 set of wheels + adapters vs. 2 sets of wheels).

I agree with that. Re-drill so you can run the deepest dish possible.

Re: 5x5 to 5x4.75 bolt pattern?
Sounds like a plan! I am going to have the rear axels re-drilled to 5x4 3/4. The front rotors i need to replace so i was thinking about just buying a set of rotors with the correct bolt pattern already. Thanks alot! I will post some pics of the wheels when i get them back from the powdercoaters!
