Adapters is one way you can go, a better more preferred way to go is to have the drums re drilled or get conversion drums (such as thing drums which are the wide 5 pattern) or if converting to disc brakes then just get the rotors with the pattern you want, but you really do not need to change rims just to run thin tall tires.
