Buy Wheel Adapter Pair (5 x 4.5″ to 5 x 5″) (RT32001)

The Wheel Adapter Pair (5 x 4.5″ to 5 x 5″) (RT32001) is a practical and performance-

focused accessory designed to expand wheel compatibility and enhance vehicle stance.

Manufactured by RT Off-Road, a division of hCrown Automotive, this adapter kit allows

vehicles with a 5×4.5-inch bolt pattern to safely mount wheels with a 5×5-inch pattern. This

conversion is especially useful for Jeep owners who want to upgrade to newer or more widely

available wheel options withouth changing the vehicle’s original hub.

Each set includes two wheel adapters, along with 10 lug nuts required for installation.

The adapters are typically 1.5 inches (38 mm) thick, which not only enables the bolt

pattern conversion but also pushes the wheels outward. This added width improves stability,

particularly during cornering or off-road driving, while also giving the vehicle a more aggressive and flush stance. (Offroad Elements)

Constructed from 6061 T6 billet aluminum, the RT32001 adapters are engineered for strength, durability, and reduced weight. This high-grade aluminum alloy is widely used in automotive applications due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The adapters are precision CNC-machined to ensure accurate bolt patterns and proper alignment, which helps minimize vibration and ensures safe operation at various speeds.

A key feature of this adapter set is its hub-centric design

A key feature of this adapter set is its hub-centric design, which ensures that the adapter

aligns perfectly with the vehicle hub. This improves balance and reduces stress on wheel studs

compared to lug-centric designs. Additionally, the adapters come with pre-installed, high-

strength studs (often grade 8), providing reliable fastening and long-term durability under heavy loads and challenging driving conditions.

The adapters are finished with a blue anodized coating, which enhances corrosion

resistance and adds a distinctive visual touch. This protective layer helps guard against rust,

moisture, and road debris, making the adapters suitable for both daily driving and off-road environments.

In terms of compatibility, the RT32001 is designed to fit a variety of Jeep models, including

Wrangler (YJ and TJ), Cherokee (XJ), Comanche (MJ), Grand Cherokee (ZJ), and Liberty

(KJ/KK) It allows these vehicles to use wheels from models with a 5×5 pattern, such as later

Jeep platforms.

Overall, the Wheel Adapter Pair (RT32001) offers a reliable solution for expanding wheel options, improving handling, and enhancing vehicle aesthetics—all while maintaining safety and structural integrity.
