I recently put a jag IFS in my f!. Got some old ralley wheels to move the roller around and get it off the jack stands. The lug pattern was right but the hub on the rotor was too big in diameter. The rim wouldnt seat flush. Was able to get it on the tow dolly but now what? Is there a special rim with a bigger hole for the hub clearance? Help!
Are you looking for specific size requirements? I have a set of astro supremes on a 52 chevy pickup with a jag rear. they fit like a glove. I cant measure them right now because its not at the new shop but I may be able to get over in a day or so to get measurements. They are 15" x 7" but I am not sure of the back spacing.
as a last resort if you have a set of wheels you want to run and they don't fit you can take the axles(or hubs in your case) to a machine shop and they will turn the center section to what ever size you need it,we have done this on the larger ford axles to run to wheels with the small center holes before
The lug pattern was right but the hub on the rotor was too big in diameter. The rim wouldnt seat flush. Is there a special rim with a bigger hole for the hub clearance? I had the same hurdle with getting aftermarket wheels to fit my JAG IRS. The bolt patterns were fine but the Jag wheels have a larger bore center hub than any aftermarket wheel I liked. Had to have them machined to match the stock jag hub size. Checked them for clearnace and they are good now.
I set up my F-1 with the Jag IFS and am using the aftermarket Gennie wheels with the dogdish original hubcaps. The center hole is large enough. I had the same problem using early chevy wheels that I used as rollers while working on the truck.
thanks for the name. glad it wasnt just me! i guess its aftermarket time when this gets on the ground. cool for now as a rolle tho.
