    Wheel adapters

    Hey everyone, first post. I’ve been looking at different wheels and tires for my 01 sport trac. I’ve found a set of newer 6lug f-150 wheels and tires for super cheap. Any issues running 5x4.5 to 6x5.5 wheel adapters? Any links to a good cheaper set under $150? Thanks so much
