I wanted to know how far the adapters push out your wheels, I can't find a web site that gives the info on them. From pictures it looks like
10-15 mm. Any one have an exact answer?
Thanks

Mine were between 1 1/16" to 1 1/8" thick from drum to outside of adapter. Much larger than 10mm to 15mm

If 13mm is around 1/2" I would think it's around 26mm to 28mm?

Are they like this style?

Yeah those are the only 5x205 to 5x130 adapters I have seen and they will increase the track by around 1" possibly more. I decided to make my own from 12mm steel as a. I don't like aluminium adapters as they are weak and b. I didn't want an 1" increase in track!
