[TR] new hubs

Wed Apr 22 05:48:55 MDT 2026

Replace them, shorten them or buy spacers. Spacers are my preferred route as the wheels sit out a little more.

The interference isn’t with the spacers – if you don’t deal with the studs issue they will hit the wheels themselves.

Hi.  I’m going to order adapters, wire wheels and tires as soon as my project gets close to completion (1958 Triumph TR3A).  I purchased these hubs from BPNorthwest, and I am trying to figure out if I need to shorten the wheel studs.  They are .938” long.  Will that interfere with the adapters?

I have asked BP Northwest but they are not very forthcoming with an answer
