I found a set of 22.5" wheels off of a 57 4400. Just trying to confirm it is the same lug pattern as my 51. Is the hub center hole same or larger?

4.75",and 5.25" are the diameters in question, larger later. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 | This actually works out perfectly since I'm using a newer Dana 80 from a 95 3500hd truck and newer p30 spindles. Both have the larger center hub. And I would have had to bore out the center on my 20" wheels | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 25 | Happy to report I have the wheels and they fit perfectly!!!

I have same wheels and axle setup, well my rear is a 70HD but same ends as the 80. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | Same story on '42-'46 1-1/2 & 2 tons. I made 1/4" spacers to fit the newer rims (I went with 19.5 '98 Chevy's.) The have the same bolt pattern, just the larger hub centric hole. Works great. | | |
