My 22" transport wheels dont fit rear

Ok so they fit the front with no problems. The rear hub is 3.5" on truck and the hub hole on the wheel is 3"....... Are people A just cutting the hub on the wheel larger. b- using spacers and not bothering that the wheel is hub centric. or C- i have no clue

Re: My 22" transport wheels dont fit rear

so if they are not bothering with the fact they are hub centric why not just "waller" the hole out. Or can you find a apacer that has a 3.5" hole then reduced down to a 3" hub for the wheel to center on

I would just pull the axles and have them turned down to 3". Of course they need to leave enough of the 3.5" diameter to locate the brake drum.

Anyone with a lathe, with a large enough spindle bore can turn the axles. That would be much less $$ that modifying the wheels, and maybe even less than spacers. I don't like wheel spacers.

And thats what im looking for. Someone to redrill and turn mine down to fit.
Also agree with Capt. about turning the axel over turning the wheel.

Re: My 22" transport wheels dont fit rear

Found a local aka 60 miles each way to do it for 80 bucks..... Big city prices here.... youll spend a grand just getting a 350 set up for a stroker kit. Most machine shops i called said thats custom work 400 bucks! they will price themselves out before they will do the work.
