Default Clod hex to 23mm hex adapters?

Does anyone make one single adapter that does this?

I've seen all of the stuff on the board and it seems like you have to buy 2 adapters to do it. And even at that it sounds like you have some clearance issues with the wheels.

I can't believe that no one makes a one stop solution to the problem, a clod hex to a 23mm hex with the right backspacing to take care of the issue with the narrower wheels.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

The outter stub shaft is not long enough to provide the "right" backspacing. Bender is the only guy I know of that makes an adapter worth a **** for this application.

I got the Bender customs adapters and they work great! You do have to narrow the wheels though, very easy to do. His parts are some of the best machined aluminum and delrin stuff I've used you won't be disapointed .

You could also switch over to TXT stub shafts and Benders TXT adapters and get a little more width but you'll still have to narrow the wheels, I think.

I use TXT stub shafts and Benders TXT 23mm adapaters on my clod with a rim that is narrowed to just under 2" Here is a picture of it. Of the stance.

Even though these are narrower,the width is taken out of the front mostly.You will still have to narrow them.For the money,I don't think you'll find much better adapters than Benders.

You can see my 23mm adapters on my website.
http://www.bendercustoms.com/acc.htm

Here' a link to my Vendor's thread here on RCC.
BENDER Customs 23mm adapters...........Last 5 sets then they're gone

The Commando wheels will give you a little wider stance then the Cheyenne bead locks. Either way I would narrow them down to about 2" wide.

Thanks Bender, i've got a set on order.


Do you offer anything else in replacement for those black outer washers? Something more blingy?

I got your orders, thanks.

I don't offer a different outer washer. As Dirk suggested, you can use the "chrome" center cap supplied with the beadlock wheels.
