220cummins Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I got some new 22.5" aluminum hub pilot budds for my '82 Cruiseliner. The truck has 24.5" stud pilot rims on it. Just looking it over I'm guessing I'm gonna have to change studs and lugs to fully convert. Is there anything else im not seeing? I'll change the speedo gear too.

shortstack Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure you would have to change the hubs too.

You minght get lucky on the front, some older front stud pilot hubs had the centering ring need for hub pilot rims. The rears will have to be replaced for sure.

220cummins Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I was doing some more research and came across this link. http://www.walkercoach.com/wheels.shtml The truck is a single axle w/ a 23k rockwell rear on new way air ride. I'll have to look closer but will prob end up changing out the hubs. Thanks for the info.

MidniteMechanic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 You will have to change the hubs. The pilots are a different diameter. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17892-stud-pilot-to-hub-pilot/#findComment-72498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
