Hy Dan Bowles, If you are not going to run dual style wheels on the front, then the adapters are not what you want. There are "late model" wheels available (singles) that will clear the tie rod ends. Years ago I built a 52 one ton pickup for a customer, he found some 16" wheels from a F@#d that cleared when installed, he had some 85 series radials mounted on them and they turned out to be taller than the stock 17" wheel and tire combo. If you install the dual wheel hubs on your front axle and then mount single wheels on them your front tire may end up at least partially outside of the front fenders, hope that helps.
