"Driven" 9 or 10 hole aluminum front wheels
 

I have 9 hole aluminum wheels on my Mack DT and need front driven aluminum wheels to match when I power the front axle. Does anybody make these in regular width? I am running fulda's all the way around so I want them narrow...

I'm thinking for mine of using the semi wheels I have, and in the front taking a couple bronze bushings, make a slot in one for the backside to engage the cross pin, and one on the front side. With tightening down the wheel nut, I'm hoping it should hold pretty well, especially since the truck won't be seeing any hardcore off road action.

I have a set of 3Racing 9 hole wheels I picked up a few years ago, but am still undecided what I'll go with for wheels and tires.

Good idea I could just modify the wheels I have too. I have a small milling machine so, it would be probably be simple to mill out the hub enough for the hex to engage.

You could always have Steve make you a new pair of fronts, that guy can make nearly anything!!!

I used a set of plastic hex's in the front wheels of my Stude. I machined them round and glued them in the front wheels. I put the Stude thru its paces at Indy in one of the pits on Sunday morning and had no problem other than the tire coming off of one wheel.

Even simpler just use the inside rim from a set of stock duals.

here is a pic.

Thats to cool!:D

I know they are not aluminum but depending on the aluminum rims you are using you could do the same with them I know the ones fromm stella are able to be done that way.

I am running stella's on my Mack. I just pulled a rear rim set apart and checked it out, boy they look good. The way they are made though it really tucks the wheel in and I already ordered tlt-1's for the front. I wonder if the tlt-1's will be too narrow now? I put the wheels on my f-350 to measure the width and they are perfect!? Does anyone know how much narrower tlt-1's are than f-350 axles? Hopefully not much, lol.

Scott look at the pics that were posted in your thread on front driven front axle options I think Freddy posted a pic of them side by side but I think you will be fine and your mod on the trans is similar to what Tamiya does with the f350.

Thanks Travis, I went back through and re-read what you posted and the TLT-1 axles look great.:o
