I went back and forth for almost 6 months with Rob Forsberg from Wheel Extensions.

-----DO NOT DEAL WITH HIM! -----

I sent him my Hub/axle/carrier off my crt.5 (putting it out of commission obviously, for this whole time). He promised me he would take the measurements and test fit the parts and have MY parts AND the extensions/adaptors back to me within 2 weeks (perfectly ok with me!). So I sent him my stuff and I had to call him CONSTANTLY over the next 3 months. He kept saying he was busy and didn’t have time. I finally said forget it, send the parts and the extensions and I will make them work myself.

So I get a package in the mail with only 4 17mm adaptors (none of my parts). I contact him and he swears he sent the parts. Weeks later I get another package from him with SOMEONE ELSES PARTS! Looked like they were from some sort of buggy. I tell him he sent me the wrong parts and I need mine back. He states “O, those were just some random extra parts I had laying around on my workbench”. I said, why the hell would you send me some random parts knowing they are not mine?

So in the end the extensions would not work (the diameter of the extension is drilled too large and he does not have a functioning enough brain to realize all he would have to do is drill the holes a smidgen smaller in productions and they would be just fine. No matter how many times I told him this he couldn’t get it through his head. I even asked for some with a 1/8 inch pilot hole centered on the extension (meaning I would drill it out to the axle size). And he said “NO” lol!

In the beginning he promised me he would “send some profit my way” for all the help. Not only did he LOSE MY PARTS (never got them back) I also ended up with NO EXTENSIONS. My truck was out of commission for almost half a year and I was out 20 bucks. He finally refunded the money for the extensions I paid (20 bucks) and I was out the money for my parts (34 bucks).

Bottom line… go somewhere else for extensions/adaptors!!!

Lol so on that note….any ideas???
