Just another wheel question. ( 6" Superlift )

[MinnesotaMudder]

I found some great wheels on jcwhitney.com and i just wanted to ask the experts if the wheels will work for my CC.

I found out today that i will not have to get cut outs to fit the wheel but i am not sure if the hub diameter is the right size. Can anyone tell me if a 83.82 hub will fit a CC.

Cool. What size tires and where did you get that information?

That is 3.3" and our stock wheels have a 2.75" hole. I'd say that that hole would be plenty big enough.

The off road place in town did some measuring and said i should be able to clear 32x11.5 tires with the rims. all i will have to do is take the mud flaps off.

[HenryJ]

Ok, can't argue with that. If they say they will clear and will give you a refund if they don't, that is just what you need.
Refresh our memories, you have a 6" Superlift on your crew cab?

KCustom did something similar on his truck , IIRC. I think that was why he made the pocket cut-out flares. If you stay on the street you can get away with just a little rubbing.

Right now i have a 6'' lift with stock wheels with 31x10.5 tires.

Edited the title to reflect that. Most questions assume that your truck is stock unless you let us know the modifications that you have.

I believe that the Superlift was spec'd for 32's on an 8" wheel, although most have better luck running 31" tires if they offroad. KCustom went to the bigger tires and soon after designed and built cut-out flares to cure the rubbage.
The problem we have is the fenderwells are small. The rear is only 31". Kind of hard to stuff a 31" tire in a 31" hole

I believe we had one member , I think it was Highroller, running 33x12.5 with a 5" lift and body lift? You might do a little research using Superlift and Trailmaster as the key words. There were more than a couple threads on what worked for them.

You are sort of alone here now. No one seems to keep their 6" lifted truck very long. Steve is our "diehard", but he and Marsha do not visit much anymore.

I think you are doing the right thing working with a local shop. That way if you have interference problems, you can go back to them for satisfaction.

ok thanks for all the help i just have one last question. Should i look for a wheel with a closer size hub to the CC or will this wheel be fine with the bigger hole. just asking because i don't want any problems with a bigger hub.

[HenryJ]

Our stock wheels are hub-centric. The wheel is centered by the hub. Other wheels such as your selection are lug-centric. They center using the wheel studs and lug nuts.

One could argue that hub-centric is stronger since the centering is supported by the wheel studs and hub.

I am running wheel spacers that are lug centric. This renders my wheels lug centered as well. I have had no problems.
