Wheel Adapters 4.5 x 5

The TRANS-DAPT Wheel Adapters 4.5 x 5 (Model 7072) solve a common modification challenge: fitting wheels with a 4.5-inch bolt pattern to vehicles with 5-inch hubs. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, upgrading a truck, or swapping aftermarket wheels across different platforms, these adapters bridge the pattern mismatch without compromising safety or structural integrity. Cast aluminum construction keeps weight reasonable while maintaining the rigidity required for dynamic driving conditions.

Each adapter features a precision-cast aluminum body designed to convert a 5x5.00-inch hub pattern to accommodate 4.5-inch wheels using 1/2-20 inch stud threads. The 1-inch thickness provides adequate load distribution across the wheel mounting surface, critical for maintaining even lug nut pressure and reducing stress concentration at bolt holes. Supplied as a pair, these adapters allow you to maintain factory wheel mounting integrity while expanding your wheel selection options. The proven TRANS-DAPT engineering ensures concentric hub centering, essential for balanced rotation and eliminating vibration.

Mechanics and enthusiasts rely on TRANS-DAPT adapters for platform conversions, custom builds, and period-correct restorations where OEM wheels aren't available or desired. Installation requires removing the wheel and brake assembly, then bolting the adapter directly to the hub before mounting your 4.5-pattern wheels. Proper torque specification to factory standards ensures longevity and safe operation. Compatible with any vehicle featuring a 5x5.00-inch hub, these adapters are ideal for light-truck and SUV applications seeking wheel diameter or style upgrades.
