    I know adapters are available to convert 5 to 6 lugs, anybody tried them? I'd like comments pro or con?

    What are you trying to accomplish?? :confused: Having an extra lug nut doesn't really gain you anything... It's the addition of the transfer case that I'd be more concerned with. :rolleyes:

    I think he's referring to running these:

    That's the adaptors I was thinking about. I would just like more wheel selections. Seems all the nice wheels are 16, 17 or 18. I have a 2wd and don't intend to alter the suspension.

    I know what he's referring to, I just don't understand the reasoning... The pros and cons would be similar to running wheel spacers. Some people have them and love them, others, like myself, won't put spacers on their vehicles.
