Land cruiser 100 6 lug adapters?

[Maccuscharlie]

I’ve seen posts about people actually converting to 6 lugs- not something I want to do- but there are a lot of wheel options I’m interested in that are 6 lug, so does anyone make a good quality 5 to 6 lug adapter/ spacer? 5x150- 6x139.7?
Can’t find any online and I don’t want to buy generic because I’m worried about fitment issues and also quality. Got a 98 lc100

Going to be tough to find any off-the-self units due to the 100's front hub design. Bora will make custom spacers/adapters to your specs. There will be some manufacturing lead time, but Lenny (the owner) is pretty easy to get a hold of and will talk you through it.

First post here, hi all!!

I have the same question, just got my LC100 , selling my 2002 sequoia, hoping to move the wheel / tire setup over.

What do you mean by the front hub design ?

These are on eBay - thoughts ?

any feedback much appreciated!

Why add complexity and a possible failure point? Plenty of 07-2021 tundra/ sequoia wheels around…..

True , just hoping this $300 solve saves me $2k on new oem wheels / tires.

Anyone have any experience with these lug conversion adapters?

seems sketchy (thanks eBay) but I’m curious

The offset of your Sequoia wheels plus 2” of spacer will push your wheels way out causing a lot more problems.

Keep stock wheels and its only the cost of tires, sell the 6 lug wheel set....

There’s nothing that makes you appreciate the advances in car safety tech like a horrifying crash that everyone walks away from. Case in point: this shocking incident that saw a Kia Soul flip into the air and roll onto its roof, all because of a rogue truck wheel.

Keep stock wheels and sell 6 lug setup and have plenty of $ for new tires.

Do it right the first time.

Look closely at that video. The brake disc is still attached to the wheel when it returns for the 'love tap' at the end. That was not a spacer failure. It looks more like a unit bearing failure.

...potentially caused by using a spacer? The spacer may not fail but it can potentially have other implications.
