I don't have an 05+ but I didn't know if you guys have seen this.

Spidertrax is looking to make a wheel spacer to convert the 6 on 4.5 pattern to 6 on 5.5. Should help open up wheel options.

i don t have an 05 either but i thought about doing that but i heard that way the wheels will sit will be in a bad angle. I guess cause the weight won't being Distributed correctly over the wheels. i think

Wait a minute. You read that and they want you to pay to be a tester...uh no.

You want me to test your product? You give it to me for free.

Agreed. All they have there now is a CAD drawing...no product so, you can spend $200 to be a tester of a product that is not even made yet and be a part of Spidertrax history? You could buy a set of wheels for that price. The final product should be about the same price, so what's the deal? Lifetime warranty? If they are made right in the first place, what's to go wrong? It's just one piece of machined steel.

Besides wheel spacers create their own host of problems, not the least of which are clearance issues.

Not flaming you inliner, it's a good find and good information, but Spidertrax is either a good group of salesmen or there's a gullible market out there.

This was already covered on thenewx.org. I can't remember who worked with them, but I'm pretty sure someone else already got the test adapters. Jeff, do you remember who?
