Strange axels have a much shorter hub(narrower) than the factory axels. The wheels I'm using are steels. The car has drum brakes and the hubs do not protrude into the rim at all. My belief is that it does not matter as the wheels are lug centric. This is no different than my centerline wheels on the Cuda(the hub does not protrude into the rim either)and the lugs on those rims also center the rim except instead of a conical lug it uses a collared one. A friends believes I'm going to shear off the wheel studs at the track. So please help me settle this. He keeps referring to hub centric wheels and I've explained that older Mopars did not use those.
Ok

I think it is fine None of the wheels on either of my cars fit the axle hub. Never been an issue.

The factory does it and it is better...but the factory offers maybe 3 wheels to choose from.. aftermarket stuff has 100s and they just offer bolt pattern.. they dont care about the hub... if you keep them tight you wont have a problem

Thanks guys that was exactly what I thought. The friend is my boss who is more into newer cars and is used to everything being hub centric. Just wanted to confirm(yeah I will probably rub it in a little. He's a good guy and gives as well as he takes). As always you guys pulled thru. Hey Dennis how is the B body coming along?
Ok
