Hi guys,
Just want to ask what is the thickness of the spacer or convertion spacer that i need inorder not to cut the wheel bolts?i bought a 5x100 wheels and i need to install a convertion spacer so i can fit it in my truck but i dont want to cut the wheel bolts...thank you for your inputs

 

I hope your lug pattern is 5x100! Cuz last I checked our trucks (5 gen) are 5x114.3 and you won't be able to use those wheels. . . Unless you're talking about lug conversion kits/adapters in which you don't cut the bolts, you simply attach the adapter to the old lug bolts themselves. At that point, thickness depends on brand/quality of product. Most are within 1.5"/2" thick.

 

Adapters. But like Erwin said, it’s going to add an extra 1 1/2” to 2” width to each side of the hub. Better off to just use 5x4.5 (114.3) wheels.

 

Measure the studs

 

As Fred Heath wrote, you should get proper 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels. Wheels with 5x100 patterns are not as strong as wheels with 5x114.3. You can see this on the wheels themselves.

Most wheels with 5x100 patterns have a load capacity rating of 1100lbs. Wheels with 5x114.3 patterns are rated at a minimum of 1400lbs. and some even go up to 2400lbs. 5x100 is usually for lightweight FWD cars. You'll never see a truck with 5x100 hubs.

If you're just building a show truck, it might not matter but if you plan to haul heavy loads, I'd get stronger wheels.

 

Totally valid point.

 

Don’t get hung up on the 114.3 measurement. It works out to 4.5”.
Plenty of aftermarket wheels to choose from. Jeep to name one.
Toyota wheels are “lug centric” as opposed to “hub centric”. This means as long as the wheel center bore fits flush to the hub you’re good to go.
Early Crown Vic wheels are also supposed to fit.
