Can a wheel adapter be used to mount a space wheel?
Wheel adapters can be safely used to space wheels away from a vehicle on which the pattern matches the wheel, but insufficient space exists to mount the wheel. The adapter is bolted to the vehicle first, with special countersunk lug nuts. The wheel is then bolted to the adapter as if it were the original hub.
