millions of people use adapters of quality with little concern. often they are just high tech spacers to get additional clearances for alternate rims in the same pattern. if they are OK to use from 4 bolt to 4 blot or 5 blot to 5 bolt I cannot see why changing the # of attachments bolts would matter.
the ones I used on my HEAVY vw vanagon with custom rims are about $100 a pair for the adapters and were made of aerospace grade aluminum, if it's good enough for the space shuttle it's good enough for me!
just have faith in the quality of the adapter/spacer. Although the old hippies said I'm a time bomb waiting to happen with my spacers on the heavy Vw I have driven from coast to coast twice over with no concerns. I ask them to show evidence of failure trends...
Of course a high preformance Saab can have twice the torque of my Vw but less weight for sure...
common sense in how much spacer is used and proper torque will make a safe operational experience IMHO.
