converting bolt pattern

Anyone ever go this route with any luck? Racing?
This is a ebay link to a wheel spacer that changes your bolt pattern.

Most won't recommend that type of spacer for the track. AFA actual racing, I think many rulebooks do NOT allow them. Long studs is what they want to see.

Bill Verburg and many others will know more than I, but I do believe the stresses are misplaced on offset spacers, and I don't mean wheel off set, rather alternate pattern.

I got them on my 911 and drive on them very aggressively without any problems. They also open up a whole world of wheel choices to chose from.

Cheers,


Joe

Hey! 5x4.5 means Jeep wheels will fit! Yippie!!

On second thought, I'll keep my Fikses.

These are fine for street driving, but wouldn't pass tech for track duty.
