I had to get Hollis to mill down the front 4x4 Hubs that originally had a 5 x 5.5" BP and a 4.1" register to a standard ~3.07" Register width and then redrill for the 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Hollis did an amazing job...as always! The new wheels and tires knock a grand total of around 60 pounds off the Rocky. 40 pounds in the front and 20 pounds in the rear. In anticipation of the lighter unsprung weight up front I reduced the free travel in the nose from about 4.25" to right at 3"....we'll see how it does there for now. Front ET Drags are taller than I've been running and after cutting down the rotors the front wheels also freewheel a bit nicer too. The rear rims are 10" Wide now (6" Back Spacing) vs 8.5", so the sidewall and contact patch is a little more square to the track and it tucks the tires in nicer too. Hoping it will help the ET/MPH just a tad, they sure do look a lot nicer now that all 4 shoes match. The front Daihatsu Wheels were HEAVY. And just turning down the hubs took about an 1.75 pounds of steel out of each register, that saved about 3.5 pounds of weight right there. Last edited by Streetwize; 09/01/16 09:37 AM.
