Newbie in need of your help

truck looks great man..I'd get rid of those flares or different offset rims imo.

Can't do .5" wheel adapters..stock studs are too long..prob need atleast 1"..1.25 for sure..And also don't go over a 3/8" wheel spacer to keep enough thread on the studs

Id get 1.25" wheel adapters if you want some sort of spacer..those would look best

I think it looks great with the flares. Just paint the flares.........the difference in the hue would drive me nuts.

Is this the wheel adapter set I need to purchase?

Set of 4 - 5 Lug Wheel Adapters - 5x4.75 and 5x5 to 5x5 - 1.25" Thick

On the right track, but not the one!
You will need a 5x5.5 Wheel adapter and I would make sure its hub centric and it possible wheel centric, but you can simply do a hub centric ring for the wheel.
But I would make sure its hub centric to our stock hub.
Which is 77.8

This way you eliminate any possible wobble or vibration as the weight gets placed on the hub vs the lugs which is what you want.

I put on the flares to see what it would look like and I really like them. Not sure if I should get wheel adapters or not.

Here are some pics.

if you like the way it looks that is all that matters

Exactly what Butch said.

If you want my honest opinion, let me know

I would like your opinion as this my first time doing any mods to a vehicle.

Thanks.

OK!
I am in no way disrepecting anything you have done as I do like what you have done and your truck is black

I personally would not like a 'tuck look' on my truck.
Our trucks stock wheels come flush with our fenders and I believe they should either be flushed or slightly poking out.
I like the wheels slightly out to give a lifted truck a better stance.
How much they stick out, that is up to the owner.

If I had your truck, I would run it without the flares. But since you seem to like them and do not want to sell your wheels, I would run the hub centric wheel adapters and make sure to have hub rings for your wheels to eliminate the possibility of wobble/vibration.
Every so often, check to make sure the wheel adapter is torqued at the correct setting.
This is for piece of mind.

If you are going to keep the flares, do the wheel adapter and I think the thinnest you can do that will allow you to use the stock lugs is 1.25" or 1.5".

If you are ok with parting with the flares, Id keep it the way it is.

3rd, if you like it, then nothing of what I said above should matter.
If is ultimately your truck and your hard earned money.
So I am no one who can judge.

This is only my opinion, so pls take it with a grain of salt if you so choose.

But man, I do love the way your truck turned out

Looks sick man...color match those flares pleaseeee..would look even better...I wouldn't run spacers man bc that will be a lot of backspacing..your wheel 5" backspacing? then add another 1.5 or so would make it like 3.5" of backspacing..not great idea imo...I would run it like that or buy 20x10 with 4.5" backspacing would be perfectooo
