We decided we needed a better understanding of how to use them thar mesurin stiks to determine rim differences between the hybrid product improved HUP and the clunky older heavyweights. So, to add to the diagrams and measurements already posted, here is the Hammond contribution:
6 Bolt HUP rim:
8 bolt rim:
The HUP rim actually fits perfectly into the inside of the 8 bolt rim:
HUP rim "inside":
HUP rim "outside":
8 bolt rim inside:
8 bolt rim outside:
Yes, Virginia, there is a difference. But is it enough to stir panic into the souls of those who bought US tires for their 8 bolt beasts? Stay tuned...
