Review on πŸ”§ EZAccessory 2-Inch Wheel Adapter | 5x4.75 to 6x5.5 (5x120.7 to 6x139.7) by Daniel Truett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great products, sure, if you're willing to go the extra mile to make them safe.

I bought two sets of these wheels for my 2004 Dodge Dakota V8 Magnum. Every set I've bought has been used to fit a stock Dodge 6 cleat jig. I believe the first set was 2 on a Ford 5 lug template, both sets were designed to fit 22" rims. Both sets were fine, but the first set had to be replaced due to the carelessness of good old Mavis Discount Tires. This time the second set had to be on the same truck to match the Chevy 6x5.5 lug pattern. I've had the same drives and adapters for over a year with no problems. Remember I have a 16 foot 2 axle trailer that I've been towing with a Ford 8N tractor all along and with the same 22 and the same adapters I've been plowing all last winter and had no problems. The reason I'm taking the time to write this is because I noticed that someone else was unfortunately unlucky, so I wanted to write this because it's not lucky at all. The first thing I did when I took the adapters out of the box and took them apart and noticed that they were held together by those hex head screws, the word Loctite immediately came to mind. Needless to say, each wheel has Loctite, threadlock, whatever you want, and just because I have a 4-year-old daughter who rode in the truck with me after I mounted her about 100-100.50 miles later, though it was a great inconvenience, i felt my life was worth the inconvenience as was my daughter's, oh so i stopped the truck, jacked it up and since i made all four wheels equal i decided to have at least two Removing tires and checking that those hex bolts were still tight, and if they weren't tight I would of course round up further to make all four adapters. Here's the crazy thing, I took two tires off and checked the adapters and I couldn't tighten those hex bolts any further and as I said fast forward and it's been a year with no problems. It's a huge conflict with spacers and adapters if you take the time and think things through and do things like use threadlock on those hex bolts, wheel adapters and spacers. I did the same thing when I had the ones where I used threadlock on the inside lug nuts, not the outside just the inside and I did the same thing after about a hundred miles. I took them off to check how tight they were, put the tires back on and drove on, and I had them for a while before finally getting my first set of 22" rims. And like I said, I'm working on my truck, I'm not just driving and I haven't had any problems. The product is a great product if you are willing to do whatever it takes to protect yourself. If you can't go the extra mile, do yourself and everyone else a favor and don't buy them or anything. The extra mile is a few extra bucks for a bottle of threadlock if you don't already have one, which you can certainly buy right here at Revain in the same order as your wheel adapters, and then the other part for you you can't just throw them away and think you'll never have to touch them again. I wouldn't test them again at 25 or 50 miles unless you are very weak oh I would run at least 75 and then test them again, separate at least two wheels and see if you could at least one of those two wheels. Tighten these hex screws at least a little. If you feel your life is worth it, I strongly recommend going ahead and doing whatever you can. Do them all anyway, even if you want to, but unless you want to test everything, unless you want to end up like the guy above with a wheel that drops at 70 mph, don't. But in my experience a great product, not the fault of the product, not the disrespect but the installer.

Pros
  • 5 wheel to 6 wheel conversion
Cons
  • No instructions
