Ansen slotted mags

[coreyvan77]

I was wondering if anyone is running the new reproduction's of the slotted mags put out by American Racing. I can't find a hub diameter on their website and was curious if they'd have to be machined out in the middle. Slotted Mags look pretty pimp but are rare as hens teeth it seems. If anybody has any experiences I'd love to hear about them. Thanks.

Don't know if that particular aspect was discussed, but we were discussing those wheels just a few weeks ago, so there should be a thread not too far down the list.
Try searching the forum for a couple of pages, and if that doesn't work, pop the question into the search function near the top of the page.

Seems to me that if they make the wheel in a 5x5.5 bolt pattern, that the center hole should be big enough, but I bet that's not the case any more, not that there are apps with that bolt pattern but small hubs.
Never fails.

Good luck.

Sounds like the centers will need to be machined. Here's the thread from a few weeks ago:

Original lots do show up in the classifieds every so often.

Just a update had the tire shop call American Racing and they said they had the Sprint wheel that would fit my application of a 77 Bronco. Only one option to go with the 8 inch width with a 4.5 backspace. I was kind of hoping they'd offer it in a 7 inch width with 4.0 backspace to possibly fit on a LUBER someday. Don't know what to think yet. Order them or keep hunting for a set of old schoolers.

Some in the classifieds........that's where I got mine......

Will 4.5 back spacing fit a 77? I know I am limited in BS options on my 76.

No. Even 3.875" didn't fit on mine.

Kind of what I was thinking.

Another option for a "modern" slot. They are however, only available in 17" for our bolt pattern.....

That is a beautiful sight? Is that yours? If so, what are you running it on?

Karl,

Did you have the centers opened up?

Thanks Chris, those are in storage for an upcoming project..............

Hey Jerry,
They are a tight fit but will clear the 60 hub with some "light" encouragement

 

[coreyvan77]

That would be a great option KB, but with the 4.00 backspacing might screw me on the 77. They do look awesome though.

 

[Annapolis76EB]

You might be OK with a 17" wheel and 4", or even more, back spacing. I would verify before I bought anything, but I am thinking it would work with a 17.
