Built for Budd Wheels and Heavy-Duty Jobs

The bolt circle adapter is purpose-built to solve a common challenge: safely and effectively mounting Budd-style aluminum wheels with 11.25-inch bolt circles. If you’re using a Coats Hit 5000 or 9000 series tire changer, this adapter prevents damage caused by direct contact between the jaws and the wheel a key concern with hub-piloted wheels that rely on the hub, not the lugs, to carry the load.

It’s the best bolt circle adapter for techs working on modern aluminum wheels, especially those with smaller diameter studs. The adapter grips the wheel using the back-mounted shoes, eliminating the need to clamp the wheel directly and reducing the risk of scratches or distortion.

  • ✔ Saves time during mounting by eliminating risky guesswork
