4.75 to 4.50 BOLT PATTERN CHANGE

As a kid I once used wheel adapters on my 69 cuda to put a set of 5 on 4.5 wheels on the rear. I removed them after a couple of weeks because I was worried about the lug nuts that I couldn't see, coming loose as well as the stress I thought it was placing on the wheel bearings. I wasn't the smartest kid around but my gut told me nah get those off. Not sure if my paranoia was warranted, but I felt better about it.
