5/8th wheel stud upgrade

[Dezerts10]

Has anyone ever changed their 12 x 1.5mm front hub wheel studds to something larger?

I’m in the process of buying a 9” rearend with full floater hubs and they have 5/8th studs in them and want front and rear to match.

Is it possible?

What bolt pattern? If it's a 5x5 bolt pattern there are wheel spacer adapters you can buy but I wouldn't get anywhere near one of those.

You should talk to Brian at Front Range Offroad, he has a wealth of knowledge about these things and should be able to point you in the right direction.

3rd gen 4runners are 6 x 5.5 I am not interested in wheel spacers that’s for sure

I think he was asking if 5 lug because it’s a Ford 9”. How easy is it to convert one to 6x5.5?

I don't think I've seen anyone do it, but if you just want the studs to match, you could probably pull the hubs, and get a machine shop to drill the stud holes (oh that sounds dirty!) out to the right size for 5/8ths, then put some new studs in.

5/8ths is a huge stud. 2mm bigger than a Silverado 3500. Why do you need this? Are you into extreme wheeling? No American full sized 1 ton dump trucks use wheel studs that big.

modify the rear to match?

So he can do sweet jumps & drive home-

Custom rearend. Look up camburg off road race rearends and hubs. That’s what I have

I work at a machine shop so that’s the plan it’s fairly straight forward I just don’t want to do something to my drivers hubs and it not work.

Off road racing hubs, 5/8th is just basically standard

That is also a possibility I may look into cause I would then not have to drill out my wheels for 5/8. Only thing is I dunno how easy it would be to find a 12mm with the knurled section the same size and the 5/8 studs.

Just another issue in the world of building a toy

can you just clock the pattern in the flange? (apologies, I have no visual of what you're working with)

if they're 5 on 5.5 I'd think you could re-drill the pattern, clocked, no?

- it's a thought.

Got my rear hubs switched out today and placed a deposit on a new 67” wms to wms rearend to complement my front long travel kit

Ended up buying these two things from speedwaymotors.com to convert my front hubs to 5/8-18 wheel studs. I’ll have to drill out my wheels as well but this should work just fine.

Inputting this picture here to look at after I drill out the lug studs and start looking into ordering the parts to rebuild the hubs and spindle.

I’ll be keeping the abs tone ring and spacer just going to ultra sonic clean them and polish up the surfaces on the spindle and the hub shaft.
