Rear wheel adapter plates

[48JOHNPH]

I'm trying to install an 8.8 rear differential from a 95 Ford Ranger in my 37 Slantback and the bolt pattern is different from my stock 37 Wheels. Do they make an adapter plate that will bolt to the Ranger axels and adapt to my stock 37 wheels?

You might check with Speedway Motors. They used to have adapters for the small bolt patterns to the large patterns.

5 on 4 1/2 to wide five adapters have been covered here and the HAMB several times. Do a search and you'll see all about what's available and the issues involved.

Note; Circle track racers adapters use 5/8" lugs- still work tho. Newc

In one of the threads I referred to in my earlier post there is a Dorman part number for 1/2" studs that can be used to replace the 5/8" studs on the Speedway adapters.

I use circle track adapters for holding wide five wheels when mounting tires. The 5/8 lug bolts fit in the wide five wheels just fine. The 5/8 lug nuts have a different taper so I turn the taper on my lathe to match. However I doubt that it is necessary to do that.
