Anyone have experience with wheels spacer/adapters? Basically it would take the Bronco’s 6 lug pattern and convert it to a separate 5 lug pattern for different wheels. Any cons to this setup?

I don't have any experience but I wouldn't do it. The Broncos were designed with 6 lugs for a reason. I would hate for Ford not to honor the warranty if something was to go wrong.Anyone have experience with wheels spacer/adapters?

It may be similar, but it's not the same... there's a reason you don't see many trucks with 5 lug wheels.Wouldn't be a problem. Same as someone using spacers with one less lug. Just don't be cheap ones
I'm with ya but jeep is still 5 lug with guys running big tires all the time.It may be similar, but it's not the same... there's a reason you don't see many trucks with 5 lug wheels.
Very interesting. I’m researching this heavily. I have some forged D14’s that I love and I want to see if I can reuse them. People are cheap AF and it is t easy to sell forged wheels online.I ran some 6to5 spacers once because I had some beadlock wheels from my old Tundra (5x150), and wanted to use them on a 4Runner (6x139.7). It used m12x1.5 nuts for the 4Runner and came out as m14x1.5 studs for the Tundra wheels (2-piece with Allen bolts and hub centric). I didn't run them very long though because the wheels were already a 0-offset and then add another 50mm of spacer width made them look flat out dumb.
Thanks bro. That’s ultimately what I I decided.At the end of the day, chances are, it would be fine.
BUT, in my experience, sometimes trying to make something work, ends up being more work in the long run.
If I were you, I'd sell the wheels and start from scratch.
