Wheel Guru’s please help me. ADAPTER Q's. So basically I need someone with a better understanding than myself to help me figure out the fitment of this combo.
I recently purchased a set of Tork Revo’s for my old car.
They are 18x8, 40 offset, 5x114.3 with 73.1 hubbore. Tire is 245,45, 18.
(Yes I know they aren’t very wide, but I don’t have the budget to go out and by my dream set.)
Rather then sell these for a loss, I was looking into some billit adapters.
Here is what I’ve found that sounds decent.
http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Ada.../5475-5450.htm
I would go with the 1”.
Does anyone foresee any major issues with these and the offset?
Or perhaps the front’s protruding so much it looks ridiculous?
I’m really trying to make it work but I don’t have enough understanding to really be able to tell.
I’m not so worried about the handling changing.
Any words would definitely help.
Thanks guys.

A 1" spacer would change the offset on a 40mm wheel and make it a 14.6mm offset. Besides pushing these wheels way to the outside a 1" spacer loads the studs and increases the chance for wheels coming loose.

Thanks for the replies, anyone else?
I wasn't too sure on the safety issue.
I wonder if anyone else has gone this same route.
Not so much a few dollars...more like $700+.
And that's if I get like $500 for them.
Oh well I guess that's what I signed up for, time to bend over and be fed some weiners.

Why do you want these adapters? Are the wheels rubbing or is it just for the looks? 18x8 with a 40mm offset? yes that would be a LITTLE sucken in but definitely not enoguh to require a 1' adapter. get some longer studs and a 5/16" spacer. That should look perfect.
(i am assuming these wheels are going on the front of a 4th gen f-body?)

Reason is they are for my old car, with a 114.3 pattern.
I'm just wondering about how much stress on the studs or extending out so much it looks goofy.

Yeah, I've decided to just say **** it.
I took some measurments and it will just stick out too much.
The wheels are sick, but with adapters its going to look like a bag of dicks.
Time to take a loss!
Yay!
