Hi all,
I'm looking for some advice on what to do about our hubs. We are looking to run Aluminum OZ wheels, which have a 4x9.93" bolt pattern for 0.5" studs. What the team has run in the past, and essentially the only hubs we have, are a set (front and rear) of RCV hubs. I recently noticed that there is a lot of play in the bolt interface between the hub and the wheel and this is because the hub has a 3/8" stud. I would think that this is really bad structurally, and simply poor design to assemble these two parts together (correct me if I'm wrong please).
So we started looking for new hubs, but there aren't many hub manufacturers/retailers that I can find out there, and there aren't many OEM parts that fit these wheels with the shaft input we need. So I was wondering if most teams custom design their hubs, or if anyone has some advice on good manufacturers/retailers for hubs out there.
I would appreciate any help we can get.
Thanks!
