Axle question?

[Hunter44]

I've got a chevy dana 60 front and a ford dana 70u rear and I found out that the hub center diameter is larger on the ford by a few mm. Will this effect anything when buying wheels and will it put additional stress on the wheel studs on the chevy 60?

I think Chevy had the smallest hub diameters. Almost all aftermarket wheels are lug centric and the center hole is big enough to fit over all the different size hubs. It won't be a problem.

What about the extra stress on the wheel studs? Since the wheel wont be tightly against the hub on the chevy 60

No more stress

No more stress

This. Literally almost every rig on the trail is the same way.

So any 8x6.5 wheel with a 125.5mm bore diameter will work? Just needing to clarify before I purchase/trade my 20x10 rockstars for other wheels

pretty much any wheel will work, only wheel you might have an issue with is a H2

Thanks guys for the help/info, y'all were right. I got some wheels!

You can always put the hubs on a lathe and turn them down if needed.
