Wheels, center hole

[gearida]

I am real close to spending some big bucks for a set of beadlocks, as you know if you have been following my posts. I need to know what backspacing you guys with multiple shocks suggest. Will I be ok with 3.75" I know that is hard for you to say. I have James Duff rear double shock stage 2 setup, and feel that due to the shock laying inward as they go up that I should have no trouble. So the real question is the center hole, is it 4"?

Ok, I 'm home now and measured myself...For all you that read this and was curious too...31/2".

I get mine drilled out to 3.75".

OK so why do you get them enlarged? Just for ease of installation? Now I am more curious.

If the 3.5" centerbore will fit the hub or drum assy without sitting on welds or other raised portions, I'd say go for it...and since the Bronco wheels aren't hub centric, it's really not important as long as they sit flat, HOWEVER, you don't want them too tight on the hub either and I think 3.5" might be too tight. Also, larger looks goofy to me as the drums or hubs aren't the most attractive part of the wheel assy. and usually kinda rusty.

These are 3.75" and I think they're the perfect centerbore for the stock hubs.
