Ford wide five wheel adapter

[34fordy]

I remember going thru this a few years ago. I ended up buying a pair of racing adapters that allowed used of Ford wide 5 wheels. I did a “home” balance of the adapter plates. The 5/8” lug bolts slip into the wide 5 wheels just fine but the lug nuts were tapered differently. I took 5 nuts and turned the proper taper on them to match the taper on the wheels. I do not think that was necessary but did it anyway. It all worked well for me but I could not guarantee that my “home” balance was perfect. The tires I ended up putting on my pickup did not need any balancing for my 55 mph and less.
