Adapters/Spacers

Just posting some good info for those who need to know -

I have not seen any spacer that had a raised hub ring like those did.
Have you ever noticed how road racers are often thinner than drag racers? I've seen numerous straight line guys well over 300 lbs but the guys that turn the wheel are always in better shape.
I read once where a road course guy said Low ETs require a fast car while low lap times require a fast driver. I'm paraphrasing but it made sense to me.

I have not seen any spacer that had a raised hub ring like those did.

I've seen them on sale at a couple sites, but it seems most are the ultra-cheapies made of poor quality metal, and not hub centric. Scary to think what is out there on the road. I'm trying to do it right, but just when I think i've got the gist of it I come across a video like the one I posted and I think - "If I missed that, what else am I missing?" Cost of failure is high.

Here's the specs I've come up with for my application -

Bolt pattern - 5 X 4.5 114.3mm

stud - 1/2-20 inches

Dr. Diff wheel hub size - 68.68 mm

XXR 555 center bore opening - 73.1 mm

So let's see if I can find a quality spacer like that. I think I can get close. I may need one of those little plastic adapter rings for the rim center bore hole.

OR buy the right wheels.

Ive not been a fan of wheel spacers or adapters period. Just do it right. My son runs spacers on his dually so he can be cool and run 35’s. He has had 2 failures and won’t change his mind. The first set that was on the pickup when he purchased it didn’t even reach the outside rim. It was riding on the end of the studs.
