Re: Christine 64' long bed build.
Got the wheels home lastnight and only managed to get 2 on due to the rear center bore being to large.

Re: Christine 64' long bed build.
make a 2 inch by 6 inch rectangle plate that bolts through the wheel covering the center bore. Now take the appropriate hole saw (hub diameter) and drill bit and center it in the plate as a guide. Be careful and it will work. If not, take them to a machine shop and spend a little coin. Have them bore them to the hub diameter so the lugs are not supporting all of the weight. aka hub centric
or go disc ![]()

Re: Christine 64' long bed build.
Do not try to trim the axle flanges to fit the wheels, trim the wheels to fit the axles

Re: Christine 64' long bed build.
If you have the room , that's the best plan for a daily. I would love to do that with my 50 burb, but can't find a clean frame and tough to take up that much space with a non roller
