OEM Ford Truck Wheels on Early Bronco?

Thinking about using a set of Raptor rims on my Bronco. Looks like the stock Raptor wheel offset is +34mm, so would need to fabricate adapters from 5x5.5 to 6x135 about 2.5" thick. Will also have to 60 degree countersink the lug holes in the new rims to convert from hub to lug centric. Any opinions on whether this is feasible? Thoughts on durability of this setup?

Thanks.

Anything is possible, But with the combined cost of Raptor take offs, and expensive custom adapters to convert to correct backspace and to 5x5.5, just get the correct Methods for an EB and never worry about your wheels flying off at speed.

and the fact that the locking hubs won't fit through the center of the Raptor wheels.

The wheels was the one thing I didn't like on my Raptor. I think there are Ford OEM wheels that would look much better on a Bronco. Maybe 16 F150 4x4 sport wheels?
