I used Vette Brakes adaptors when I had SS/ZR1 wheels on my 91RS. Torqued properly and never had to worry about them. Street, autocross, and drag tires all went on and off the car weekly. I would check them occasionally and never noticed a problem.

Like ANY other wheel, always check the torque.

They give you directions on how to torque it properly. Hand tighten the lugs in a star pattern (dur), then first stage torque to 35ftlbs with a torque wrench, then again to 80ftlbs, all in a star pattern.
Check after a week of driving and retorque to 80ftlbs, as well as the wheels. Air gun or not, you need to make sure its torqued with a troque wrench.

arrite i see. thanks for the input guys

Hey thanks for that great tidbit of info Al...ill be sure to do that next time so I can avoid any more complications.

80ftlbs? that it? i thought it was more like 100?

Says 80ftlbs on thier site.
Also dont forget to put a dab of anti-seize on the threads to give you a better and true reading, not to mention no galling between the iron rotor and aluminum adapters.

As Alex said I've been using the Skulte adapters for years on my car and I've never had any problems. I have 2" adapters for my Miglia wheels which Boon had on his 4th gen Z28. I have a 4th gen rear now so I only need them up front.

I also don't understand how people lose a wheel with the adapters because the lug nuts bolting them onto the hub stick out not too far from flush when they are fully torqued. It is impossible for the lug nuts to back off the threads enough to make problems when a wheel is bolted on. It would only fall off if all the studs break.

arrite thanks for the info ted. do you still have the ones u took off your rear?

unfortunately no but keep checking ebay for skulte adapters. They had a good sale in an ebay auction (right from Skulte) so I was able to pick them up cheaper than off their website.

arrite thanks...did you have to buy different lugnuts to fit your rims?

al, you were right. Camaro's :rofl:
