Summit has 'em...Cheap cast ones. About $30 a pair, IIRC.
Stockton Wheel has some in Billet. For a bunch more $
I have one pair of these that go from a Mopar 5 on 4 to a Mopar 5 on 4.5, that I use so I only have to carry one spare when I do the modern front disc swap with the old 8 3/4 in early A Bodies, during the month or two when I end up running mismatched patterns.
Doubt I'd trust the cast ones for any sort of performance driving, especially if they don't center on the hubs well.
The billet ones, well, you may as well just do it right and buy some axles with the flanges in your desired bolt pattern, for the price they cost.

Thanks for the info primerdust. My buddy in long beach can get the billet ones for $90 a set...any bolt pattern. Is that a reasonable price? If so I'll post the number...

Check with any local speed shops, or tire places. Ask them if they deal with American Tire. I used to work for them.
They stock the billet ones. Last time I sold a set they were about $45.00 each retail. There used to be a company
called 100+. I think they shut down. Not sure! They had them also. Most will convert to a 12x1.5 thread pitch. Make sure you use thin wall E/T style lugs. They will center the wheel the best. Happy hunting.

Try this place. Yes the price is higher, but you get what you pay for. Dean http://www.truckn-store.com/product_category.asp?id=513

Check Ebay for Ansen adapters. Excellent quality and they came in many sizes; no longer in production. I got a nice set of 4 for $45 that were Ford 5 1/2 to 4 1/2"

Kick ass!! I wanted to put ETIII's on my truck,, but its a 01 GMC, and a 6 bolt. Didnt even think about adapters. thanks man! by the way....about the diffrence in offset. would it be real noticeable? I still want a thick rim on the back, but not so much that it'll stick out past the fender.
