James, really nice work! Ingenious way to change lug pattern. :thumb:
Id find hubcentric rings for the wheels, though. I dont see an issue with the drums as long as they center on the axle, too.
ill have to make some. hub centric rings are usually based on wheel mfg and axle/hub type.
i can tell you this though, right now i have 5/8 studs in 1.5" wheel spacers on the tracker to run these wheels, the spacers attach to the stock 12mm studs. when i drilled the hubs out to accept the studs, the flat base for the studs to sit on and self square up had been removed and i didnt have a way to flatten out the taper that was now in the bore (think of a drill bit going half way into a piece of aluminum, then drilling a smaller hole the rest of the way, that taper left behind from the bigger bit is what im talking about). When i pressed the studs in, they would kinda kick to one side. i threw the spacers and wheels on and spun the tires. Ho-Lee-Chet did they bounce up and down. few taps on the end of the stud to counter the bounce and they run pretty true but still off. Driving down the road, you hardly feel it. So to me, this setup is already MILES ahead of what im currently running and being that im running a cast bead lock wheel (bead lock are inherently hard to balance out due to the bead never fully centering at the outer lock area) and 33" mud terrains, ill never get all the bounce out if there ever is any. its an off roader at the end of the day. i already know its going to make some more noise when i put the coilovers on the rear end due to the dual rate springs, the sliders like to make noise as the suspension moves.
