Alternative to five lug budds
Has anyone tried wheel adapters so we can run regular wheels and tires on our trucks?

Hi Joe,
I believe there are a number of split rims with the same lug pattern of the Budd's. Suggest you take one to a truck wrecker yard and match something up. That said, bear in mind that a lower or higher profile tyre will mess up your ratios and speedometer.
Cheers
