I ordered the 4*100 adapters and got them last week. They are pretty beefy items. I have no worries about them ever failing. They are thicker in all part than the stock rim is where the lug nut sits.

What are the width of the adapters and what size rims and offsets did you get?

I got the 1.25" thick adapters

And I am using some old 17*7 rims with a +35 offset


With these rims and 205/40/17 tires the outside of the tire is about dead even with the fender lip in the front, and a little under it in the back (The front wheels are on a wider track then the back). A 7" rim with +40 to +45 would work better. I plan on getting some 16" rims with a +40mm offset really soon.
