h2 wheel's hub opening
1 Attachment(s)
i was wondering what everybody's thought's are on opening up the hole for the hub.
even if you don't have a dodge,your input would still be appreciated. i would like the wheel to still be hub-centric,so the lug's aren't carrying all the weight.i'm not looking to be shearing any stud's and have seen this happen. i was thinking about using a cylinder bore ridge reamer.i can keep it pretty round for the most part,hopefully:humm: |
I dont see a problem doing it there are alot of people running h2 wheels on dodges. However for something like this I would have a machine shop open up the holes so that way they are spot on.

Its interesting to note that the wheels have a corresponding taper. Why do you think that is? |

i have a table top boring bar,but i've only done motorcycle cylinder's on it.i would need some set-up to hold the rim steady to cut with it though.it just seem's like alot of work for the 2 second's it would take to cut the wheel. |
A buddy of mine opened his holes up with a die grinder...lol that didnt work so well. A machine shop is the best option.
Yes, there are a lot of people running H2 wheels |
i used a roto zip.. did a pretty good job keeping the hole in a perfect circle.. they fit tighter on my hubs than my factory steel wheels did..
|
i used a grinder. wasnt worrkied bout hub centric chit. rims were on the truck for over a year with 35's on them. rock crawled, pulled, everything with them. never broke a stud. hell, my centerlines dont even hit the hub.
|
I used a Router on mine. Except for a couple places where I got a little crooked it is a perfectly round hole. Finished it up with some emery Cloth and done. Maybe an hour tops to do all 4. Fits nice and snug.
|
ok,look's like other people have done different thing's.
i'd like to get it done myself.i haven't done anything with any machinest in my area.i'd just hate to get the wheel's back all chipped up,because the finish on them are nice. |
Dodge wheels are not hub centric. The rear hub is bigger than the front hubs anyway.
