GRP (square) wheels on stock XB

[k.jensen]

Hiya guy's, I hated to have to modify the square in my wheels to put them on my Xb so instead I found this solution.


bought myself a pair of GRP wheels, drilled the centerhole up to 10mm and used these as a wheel-nut, it's working quite well.


just thought I would share it with u all.

We call those nutserts over here. That is brilliant!

Would have been much easier than extending my axels.

Interesting, so you are using the stock squares with the grp wheels which I assume are hex ?. Won't that strip ?.

Rcdad, where do they sell nutserts?

yes I'm using the stock squares as they are the same diameter "hex" (only difference is that they are longer). it whont strip as long as the wheelnut (nutserts) are tight and I also used a lockdisk to prevent the new wheelnut to losen.

say, thats a good idea! I run these tires on the XB with the 7075 adaptors. 4 bulldog front medium compound. buy them tru go-nad in Califorina. Will send a money order this morning for 4 white front easy mediun compound. $34.99 per set. These rampages have so much traction - the easy tread will loosen the xb up. GRP wheels are so much lighter than the split rims- they are all flywheels on the 4wd, the lighter the better for me.
