PSE 5 Pin adapters with late SPF wheels?
 
I'm wondering if a 10 year old set of PS Engineering lug to 5 Pin adapters on an ERA would be compatible with newer SPF late WAW 5 Pin Halibrand style knockoff wheels?

I called the number for PS Engineering and they sold the company - the current guy on the phone had no idea.

The operative question is the bolt circle and backspacing. The ERA uses a 4.75" pattern. Backspacing is listed here:

Are you referring to the bolt pattern of the wheels or the ERA hub? I think the trigo type adapters will work with either a 4.5 or 4.75 hub, or am I totally wrong? In any event, I'll keep researching. I'm looking to possibly replace a current wheel/tire set on a 2004 ERA from 17s to 15s. I'm told the 17" knockoffs currently on there are from PS engineering using the lug/pin adapter. I've located a set of 15s from a newer SPF and am wondering if they will work with my current adapters.

My Trigo adapters on my Hurricane have both bolt patterns. They're about 10 years old.

All the 5-pin wheels that I've seen use special lug nuts that act as the wheel driver. It may be that some wheels have a dual pattern, but they are still driven by the lug nuts.

Based on these photos, it looks like the adapter works for both patterns and is currently set up in the 4.75 pattern with the existing PINs. Now I just have to figure out which backspacing is best for a 15" wheel using these adapters to get the most wheel well fill and right stance.

The setup on my ERA 472 car pictured below is PERFECT to me. Perfect stance and wheel/tire fill. These are the 6 PIN wheels though, so I don't know if the above adapters using similarly BS'd wheels would stick too far out?
