Wheel track with DRW front hubs

[Hubnut]

Could someone verify this. I'm assuming if I go with a DRW front hub on my 60 and use HMMWV rims, that my front axle track will be about 6 inches or so wider than the rear. Is this correct? Anybody running this setup? Would this look funky? Pics would be fantastic! Thanks.

h1 rims are backspace of 7"

drw hubs are 4" extra stick out than srw hubs.

this all together = 3" backspace.

so if you run the normal 4.25 backspace most rims are set at on srw. then your total wider width will be 2.5" and thats 1.25 per side.

hope this helps.

I run a DRW 60 and 1.5" spacers on the 14FF and 12 bolt h1's with 38.5" TSL's and love it. The double beadlock on the h1's is amazing and they look pretty sick too. For the back if you don't want to run spacers you can run a DRW 70 with SRW 14FF hubs or a van width 14FF. The DRW 70 and FF hubs gets it damn close to the front if I remember right, not sure on the van width though. Here is my setup, you can kinda see how far they stick out. If you search "h1" or "h1 beadlocks" or "DRW 60" there ae lots of threads on this with more pics and info

Hubnut, if you use the drw hubs up front, and leave the rear end alone, yes, its going to look very funny running H1's. You either need a different rear axle, or run large spacers in the rear to make up the difference.

Drippy, NorCalKid,
That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks guys. Damn. I got the freakin' H1 rims and tires, just can't seem to get em on my truck.

Well get on it, they are pretty sweet. I would avoid the tires if you use it for anything more then a daily driver though
