Where to get Hub Centric Wheel Adapter
I am not sure TPE is even in business anymore and I need a 2 " hub centric wheel adapter. I would perfer a set with upgraded ARP studs.
I went on the net and am having a hard time with quality. Let me know where I can get a good set of these.
thanks boyz

thanks for all the replys guys. I spoke to a couple of race companies and they think that running a 2 inch spacer with my car is gonna cause problems so its either go the mini tub route or new wheels 
There is a major saftey concern with high power cars and adapters in the 1 - 2 inch range asccording to these professionals.

Look at selling your wheels for what ever and getting a new set that is what I did. But about as much $$$ which ever way you do end up going......

I ordered mine from Motorsport tech and they fit right on, but the stock studs hit the inside of my wheel and do not allow the wheel to sit on the hub correctly. What can I do to fix this? I tried shaving the studs (did not shave any thread). Still doesn't seem to fit on the new hub correctly. Please help!

[QUOTE=BLOWNBLUEZ06@RKTPerformance;159095 8003]Only 2 things to do. shave down the studs, add clearance behind the wheel hub or a little of both.[/QUOTE
Awesome thanks!
What do you recommend to add add clearance? I have a boat load of washers, is that adequate? And is there an easier way to shave studs? (Only did one side and it took me an hour).
