      Trying to find a unicorn wheel adapter

      I need, strike, want a couple of 1.5" wheel adapters to go from my 12 bolt to my TSWs. I cant seem to locate ANY hub centric wheel adapters for my rear end which measures 2.81" on the hub. Ive been running no adapters and using the centering rings that came with the TSWs without problems. I'll admit that before I put the centering rings on I was tightening the lug nuts up every other day - not safe, dont do it.



      Do I need to have them custom made OR am I looking in the wrong places?

      Find a machine shop near you and get them made. Hub-centric wheel spacers tend to be too specific for any places to keep in stock due to the vast amount of vehicle/wheel combinations. Get the measurements for the wheels (I believe TSW wheels are 76mm) and give them to a machine shop, and they'll make what you need. I found a local guy near me who's going to make some for my car.

      As for the lug nuts coming loose, did you address the lug pattern differences of the TSW wheels vs. the Chevy bolt pattern? On paper it doesn't look like much, but it's enough off that it can cause the lugs to back off from not being fully seated on the wheels. There's several ways to fix this, I ended up just having the guy who will make my spacers alter the wheels to match the Chevy bolt pattern.
