A nissan frontier. They have 4" hub's, and most other 6 lug vehicles have 3" or 3.5" center hub's, like Cadilac, or even other Nissan's, like Titan's, and stuff. So we, and other older Nissan truck's have to bore out the center hub a little bit

So will the rims retain their strength once the center hole is enlarged to 4"? How much closer to the wheel lug holes will the 4" hole be?-Bob

no, the wheel is going to shatter into a million pieces, that is why I am trying to get it done

and Im thinking that they are going to be about 1/2" closer to the lug holes

Ill try Transwheel, thanks
