    Hi Guys, does anyone know for sure if the '75 CJ5 wheels are Hub-Centric? I'm investigating which Spacers I need to get my Kelsey Hayes 15x8's Riveted steel wheels to fit over my 11" Drums on my '75 CJ5.

    Some background on this:

    Also see this thread:

    Anyway, here are some Pics of Hub-Centric Spacers, (1st Pic BLUE). And Spacers that are not Hub-Centric, (2nd Pic SILVEr). Apparently Hub-Centric Spacers, (and Wheels), force the load onto the Hubs and Bearings and not the Studs. Much safer.

    If anyone has any knowledge about this subject please jump in on which Spacers you would buy.

    Thanks,

    Todd.

    No, they are not hub centric.....
    BTW, I'm using 1 1/2" spacers from Performance Wheel.
