I have a question for those of you who are running the Mickey Thompson Classic wheels. I have a set of 16x8 and noticed that the center hub hole is slightly bigger then on my stock 15" ranger wheels. I didn't think that this would matter. My front doesn't even have a mating (male) hub because of the 4 wheel drive lockout which is flat. Can someone tell me what size the hub hole is on their M/T's?
Thanks, George

 

the hob hole is no reason to worry yourself all aftermarket wheels the hole is larger then the stock hub so it will fit fine...

the only problem is they are not "hub centric" like stock wheels, meaning some people complain of balancing issues.. but thats very few and far between...

 

Yeah I didn't think it was an issue plus it would have to be bigger to be able to put the push thru center cap on. I was just wondering because I bought new tires and the place wouldn't put them on my truck because of the bigger hole. They put the tires on the rims but would not install them on the truck.

 

sounds like the place has been sued way to many times. there also complete morons being this its a problem now a smaller hole that would be an issue.. time to find a new tire place..


question it wasnt Costco was it?

 

Actually it was Sam's club! Isn't that almost the same?

 

close Costco wont even mount a tire on a vehicle that isnt the exact same size that came on it

 

I cant find to many places around here that will to be honest with you. Its a "liability" for them, There losing alot of business, youde think theyde write up a waiver for people so sign so they could cover there butts. I know many Tire Warehouses around here wont mout and balance a tire if its larger then OE, weather it was on the truck before hand or not...

 

shoot the sams i went to said "there no way in the world your gonna fit 31s on any ranger, you would have to have about 6" of lift for that" so i just told him to mount them on the rims and give them to me haha
stupid tire people haha

 

haha...america's said the same thing when i drove in with a ranger on 32's....and i had them mount/balance my 35's! lol...they were like "there's no way in hell those are going on that! 35's on a ranger? never seen it done." little do they know...

lol.



Yea...I beleive all aftermarket wheels for 5x4.5" lug pattern have 3.33" holes for center caps.
