Does anyone make adaptors to run Ford wide five wheels on Ford 5 on 5.5 hubs? I've seen them for wide 5 to chevy but can't seem to find what I need. Thanks in advance.
The Speedway ones are VERY heavy, and have 5/8" studs, which may not fit your wheels. Buy them from*****.
I use the***** Spadaro adapters with my adapter covers. I think they are the best and the price is right. Jim Ford
Yes,***** is very ill. His website is still up, makes no mention of his business being closed. http://dickspadaro.com/index.htm
A mate of mine got some off him sent down here a month or so ago, he dealt with a guy who was looking after the business for*****.
Depending upon what you have it might be easier, cheaper and safer to just change to wide 5 drums and hubs. Charlie Stephens
Dick is eventually selling/liquidating the business soon from what I've read. He is no longer working and has someone working there until he moves to Florida. Check the***** Spadaro thread on his health. Bill has moved to Florida, The shop will be closed by the end of the year. I doubt there's anyone manning the ship there..so sad..

I talked with*****s brother Frank and he said that they are closing and liquidating. I asked about the adapters as I need them to go with my covers. He told me that it would be ok if I wanted to make the adapters. So I have a deal with a local machine shop to start producing them in 5x4.5, 5x4.75 and 5x5.5, if any one needs 5x5 I can have them done at a small extra charge when making a run of adapters. I should have them available within a month if all go's well. Contact info is in my sig file. It is sad to have to fill this need as***** is a great guy and I only wish the best for him. Jim Ford
