Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with 15" Wheels and an E-Brake
Hey I am interested in this set up, I am just wondering what exactly needs to be machined down? Just the hub on the axle? Or can we open up the hole on the rotor? Thanks!

Yes the hub on the axle flange is much bigger than the rotor's center hole. You can certainly have the rotors machined, but I prefer to have the axles machined. That way if you have to replace a rotor, you don't have to have the machining done again.

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with 15" Wheels and an E-Brake
Hey Captain,
So I'm finally getting ready to put this kit on. However do you know how important it is for the axle register to fit tightly on the stock 15" steelies? I'm thinking that this centers the wheel to the axle but I'm not sure how important this is? If I machine the axle register to 3.06 do the lug nuts center the wheel? If I machine the rotor to the appropriate size then the wheel could still be centered. Sorry if I'm thinking incorrectly |

Re: 6 Lug Rear Disc with 15" Wheels and an E-Brake
With factory wheels, the hubs and the lug nuts center the wheel. Most aftermarket wheels rely on the lug nuts alone to keep the wheel centered. I don't see a problem with machining the original hubs down to accommodate the rotors and using the lug nuts to center the wheels.
