Abstract
A method of modifying a hub with a wheel adaptor. The wheel adaptor includes a cylindrical body, a first set of holes that includes six symmetrically spaced holes located at a first radial distance, a second set of holes that include three holes located at a second radial distance, and a third set of holes that include another three holes located at a third radial distance. The method includes coupling the wheel adaptor to the hub. The coupling includes passing six symmetrically spaced lugs of the hub through the wheel adaptor at the first set of holes and fastening using six hub lug nuts. The method further includes drilling six holes through the hub using the second set of holes and the third set of holes of the wheel adaptor as drilling guides.
