I have what you aussies I guess call adaptors, those that bolt to the hub, then have their own studs on which the rim is bolted. Bueno, the trick with those is the thickness of said adaptor, if you go beyond 1.23 inches, you risk, by outstreching the placement of your tyres, to vary weight distribution and angle on your cv axles....wich leads to breaking, these vehicles are carefully engineered, so when you vary in any way how the weight of the machine is distributed on all 4 tyres, you have to take that in consideration or breakages will occur, expensives ones usually.
I got mine when I got my 3 inch lift and 32 bfg muddies, in order to avoid as much rubbing of the tires in the space alloted. and even then had to do some slight alignment mods.
Also, the enhancement in the lift meant needing a bit of a wider stance to counterbalance, you know avoiding roll overs and the such.
I apologize if my explanation is not too clear as my technical knowledge is all in spanish, not english, so technicalities are difficult to explain for me.
If it can't go where I want to go, then it is either useless, or I 'm not thinking straight.
