I'm about to put some wheel spacers on, so I go to eBay and find that there is something called wheel adapters.


I guess they look the same, and I just can't figure out the difference between these two.


And here's the result that I googled.

They have a different name that makes me confused, and it's said that wheel adapters are using to adapt the offset of CB and PCD between the OEM and ODM wheels.


Can anybody tell me more?

Basically the difference is spacers slip on and adapters bolt on...

 

Adapters can also change the stud spacing and hub mount etc like a brand new hub assembly replacing the other one, but spaced out a bit.

 

They're essentially the same thing from a "move the wheel out wider" point of view and "bolt on" ones can add extra features and also are considered to be safer.
