I modified my stock rear 4-bolt hubs by drilling and taping them to the 5-bolt pattern. To get more threads in the new holes I milled the back of the flange flat and welded on nuts to the back side of the hubs. I can now switch from the cheep VW wheels or the more expensive alloys when ever I want.
The question I have is do you need to balance the hubs or would this be over kill? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif) |

I ran across a set that was balanced that prompted me to check other ones I had that where not balanced. The ones I checked (drilled 5lug with STUDS) where so close to being balanced that I didnt feel/see a need to balance them.
I think your playing with fire running nuts on the back side. Part of the reason we run the studs is for strength. The studs are Rockwell hardened. Let us know how it works out. B |
