are wheels adapter any good. i was thinking about getting these for my civic so i could use my bro's 240sx meshies rims.

my brother used a set of spacers similar to these to use some vette wheels on his camaro. he beat the ***** off it and they never broke. considering your car will be in the neighborhood of 1000 pounds less id say they are safe.

 

kewl, i'll be getting one then. thanks. bump for more reply.

 

been using hub adapters on and off for almost 10years..no problems here..

pandagarage.com has hubcentric ones in 15mm if u wanna check em out

 

Uh good luck with the offset though, arenet 240 wheels low offset to begin with, then add on there another inch lost due to the spacer, those things are gonna stick waay outta the fender wells.

 

no ..not necessarily.. 240sx's can handle lower offsets w/o major mods than most all Hondas but then their stock wheels were around +40 offset believe it or not.

yes, the wheels will come out 1 inch. you will need some slightly rolled fenders, negative camber and rolled fenders to pull them off.. that is why i referred the OP to panda for the smaller 15mm ones..

what are the specs of these '240sx' meshies you want to install?

if they are 50 offset then the adapters plate(ebay25mm) will bring you down to 25mm
if they are 40 offset then the adapters plate(ebay 25mm) will bring you down to 15mm

oh and btw, if you did use the ebay ones then make sure you use acorn lugs that SEAT properly to mount the adapter plate on your car because if they don't seat properly then get ready for some vibrations once you hit 60 mph

 

Be careful with adapters. The adapters themselves are not the problem, more so the quality you of them is the problem.

Look to spend upwards 300 for a good set.
