Question Anyone using 5x135 to 6X135 wheel adapters?

I've been thinking about getting some new wheels in the next few months when I get ready to get new tires. The only problem is that most all of the wheels that I find that I like are not available in the 5x135 bolt pattern. I've seen the wheel adapters online, but never talked with anyone that has used them. Just wondering if anyone here are using them.

I own a 1999 F150 4x4 Lariat with the off-road package. I'm currently running the stock 17" chrome wheels with 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I would like to go with the 18" Moto Metal 951 chrome wheels.(-12mm Offset, and 4.5" Backspace). I'm not sure how this wheel would work on a 1999 f150 with the wheel adapters. Your thoughts??

Thanks,
Joey

Thanks..

Thanks for posting the link. I tried doing a search last night, but didn't come up with much.
So, does anyone know where I can get some steel wheel adapters? I would like to have some that aren't quite so thick..

they have to be that thick so your old lug nuts can still be put on.

I'm not sure how they could be any thinner.
