Good info. To make it easier to thread on the nuts, put the nuts on first, then cut the studs. File the cut, then unthread the nut. I would caution on two points: First; Cross tightening pattern - snug the first nut then the one that is 180 degrees from it (number 4 of 6). Then move to lugs 2 and 5 then 3 and 6. For the eight bolt: 1 (of 8) and 5 (of 8), then 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8. This will seat the adapter flush then keep proper pressure on the hub. Second; The torque setting is not just for the minimum amount of pressure. It is the minimum and maximum. Those adapters are made of aluminum. Even on the iron materials, you can over pressure the threads and they can strip out or stretch. Over-torquing the screws or studs can cause serious failures in the devices and will release the manufacturer of any liability if you have a failure. When torquing down the nuts, screws, or studs, make sure that you go to the "click" and stop. Don't give it more. That over-torques the threads.

[@russellschroeder990]

I’m thinking of swapping out my 10 bolt to a 14 bolt full floater. These spacers might be just what I’m looking for on the front

[@rickbalderas7153]

that is exactly what I have in mind for my project. I have a regular cab short bed 04 silverado 4x4 w the 4.3L v6 in it. I want to do a full heavy duty conversion (6.0L, 4L80E 4WD trans, 14 bolt rear end, 8 lug adapters in the front). and I wanna top it off with those classic 16" wheels that GM would have on those gmt800 heavy duties

[@D1G1TALSYNAPS3]

Good video, only thing I would say, is that going extra is not safe. You pass the elastic stretch of the bolt.

i like it. i was looking for another way to do a dually type set up on a rat rod i'm building and this is perfect. saves me from buying a $500+ dually axle when i can just by a 1/2 tn chevy 6 lug for $100 and change it.. thx and i like the hat....

@@steventupua8547 I just did the 24x14s. They fit but rub in the front end. My trucks on a 7in lift, It’s a little nerve rackin driving it because I’m scared my tires gonna fall off but so far so good. Tomorrow I’m gonna re tourqe them. Finding lug nuts for them was the hardest part for me.

[@AnwarKhan-yl3nk]

Did those adapters make your wheels stick out a lot more ? GBODY gang bang 💥 bang 💥

[@chiccend2ppalmsprings550]

Bad idea bro. Buddy of mine and me did this on a 75 caprice to put six lug 26’s on. Used green locc tight and all. Lost one on the 10 freeway doing 80. No fun

[@TheLsSwapGuru]

🤦🏾‍♂️ honestly I don’t feel comfortable with them at all lol I’m about 1500 miles on them right now no issues but constantly worrying

[@2006gtos]

The Ls Swap Guru swap out the eight lug studs for some ARP studs. Always throw slug or bolt on before cutting threads. When you rake the lug off it will clean the threads. Start using a star pattern to torque down wheels. Two passes and don’t overtoque. Keep up them swaps coming.

[@johnniebee9470]

Same thing happened to me fucked the front end of my old school up bad

Sorry to hear that champ I guess I took mines off in time can’t mess up my baby

[@MrJones-ti1gx]

Why did you do that? Was it because you wanted a certain rim that didn't come in your trucks bolt pattern? I'm getting ready 2 lift my astro & I noticed its a lot more rim choices in 8x? bolt patterns.

[@silentbutdeadly3466]

I had hell getting those adapters off my Yukon . The Allen wrench screws got stripped

[@nuclearruffneck]

Why dont they make them a one piece or put the studs through the allen head holes after machining them correctly so there is less parts to fail and the tires won't stick out like a moron?

[@isaaccollins9425]

Where did you find them adapters? I got the same ones and I’m trying to find some studs that fit them. They are stripping out

[@staticfb2209]

I’m having trouble with something and we have same wheels do you happen to know the bolt pattern to those wheels please

Hey man,maybe a stupid question,but other than the wheels coming out further,what is the reason for going from 6 to 8 lug? I have a 2005 exactly like yours I have had since new,has 265k and still runs like new,been through two transactions,am ready to start doing other things,like a lift and etc..
