ok I have seen these in the tire shop working on cars but are wheel adapters safe I would only need two pair for up front instead of changing the hole setup? It seems safe and wouldn't be on the powered wheel(s)

I think the biggest thing is they move your tires out more.

I dont see a problem with them if they are good quality units installed properly. Also you will be buying a new set of wheels so order the right offset to make up for the wider width.

I am in the towing business and can tell you from a personal point of view not to use them. I tow cars on a weekly basis that have lost wheels due to wheel adapters. In some instances the individual did the work but in most cases they were professionally installed. It changes stress points on the lugs and ball joints. Anyway that just my two cents worth.
