By wheel adapters you mean like them adapter that change your bolt patterns?

Or do you mean spacers that adjust the offset like if you had the incorrect offset wheels?

I would not do the adapters to change the bolt patterns, I dont believe in them and plus they are a good 1.5" thick, that makes your car look ghetto cause now you just shifted the offset about 1.5", if you kept the stock tires on, then you tires now stick out 1.5"s on each side. Basically means ghetto.

Spacers are alright, but some people say cause vibrations, I dont see how that is possible when the spacers are tight as I dont know what against the hub. So if anything spacers are fine to a point.

Yeah cause the wheel adapter for changing the bolt patterns are expensive and very thick. You will require some crazy offset wheels to make up for that. And I dont think they make that type of offsets either to make up for that.
