Wierd how the center hole is so much bigger then needed to be. It's like 4 1/4" and you only need 3 3/4"
Cool, hope they work for ya. The guy seemed REALLY cool to deal with and I would buy from him again without question.

As for the center hole, many different 4x4 axles have been used, that use the 6 on 5.5 pattern. Not all of them use the same size center hole because of different parts used in the hub assembly. It was easier to make one size bore, the largest needed by any axle and all the other ones would work. It is not like they are using the bore for hub centric use. They are lug centric so the bore can be bigger. Hope that made sense.

Also, if the BS might not be correct on that set, contact him as I know he has a bunch of other ones not listed yet.

OK, yes that does make perfectly good sense. Just thought the distance between the lug hole and center hole looked small. Do you have a phone number or something to contact him at?
