Thread: Straight Axle hub to hub dimensions?

Tweet

Can any of the deuce guys tell me what your hub to hub dimensions are?

I'm changing my 36 to a open wheel rod with Ibeam drop axles and I'm trying to figure out where my tires will end up. Trying to decide between 46" or 48" Ibeam.

It's going to depend a bit on all of the hardware choices made, but you can figure around 5 1/2" on each side from the center of the upper kingpin hole to the wheel mounting flange surface. Then, of course, you'll need to be mindfull of wheel offset/width/tire profile.

Thanks Uncle Bob. That helps. The Winters rears look to be 56" flange to flange. So looks like the fronts would be 57" or 59". If I go with 4's in the front on a 59" axle (48") with a 1.5" bs I'd have to go with the largest back spacing available on a 10 to even get close to having the outsides of the tires matching. And they still wouldn't. Would have to narrow the quick change. Doubt I'd be lucky enough to find a used one with the width I desire.
