I haven't a clue. But then again, is anything safe? ANYTHING can go wrong with anything.
But as for the adapters, since Bo has used them and has had no problems, as well as Terry stated in his post, as well as all the others who have purchased and used them (we are not the only 3 people, I'm sure), I can only assume that they are safe. Plus, there are 5 lugbolts being used. The possibility of losing all 5 at the same time is highly unlikely.
I would say that the lugbolts would need to be re-checked after so many miles of driving. But isn't that what we're supposed to do with oem wheels on oem hubs? And I highly doubt most people actually do re-check the tigthening torque after driving for a few days. So maybe in this instance it is slightly more critical to re-check them since we are talking about 3/8" to 1" of thread being gripped.
So why don't you wait until all of us who have the adapters have logged more miles and to give some feedback to this board?
