14 bolt and wheel question

[lockedandlowded]

What is the bolt pattern on a lates 70's chevy 14 bolt? 8 lug ffloat

Is it 8 on 6.5. Will all 8 lug hummer wheels fit this axle?

Thanks

Yes. Thats what I will be running, H2 wheels have 5" BS and H1 wheels are 7" BS.

Will I have any problem with them hitting me steering arms if I go hi steer?

Also what will be the outside tire measurements.

Also, If I have a 4.10 gear set now can I use a Thick 5.13 set and not have to change my carrier? Or am I stuck getting a 4.56 and up carrier.

How about you tell us what your gonna put them on? Are you using SRW or DRW configured axles?
You need to be specific about what kind of wheelin you do, how large of tire size your looking at etc...
H1 and H2 wheels are vastly different in what you get from them, the H1's offer double beadlock capability and a tremendous amount of backspacing, H2's are really just a stock alum wheel with some addition backspacing.

yes you can order extra thick gears and run the small carrier.and i had to recenter my h1 wheels.

I ordered up a special set of high steer arms from WFO Concepts that would work with the H1 rims, from what I know typical high steers arms won't work with H1 rims because of the amount of backspacing they have.

Okay.
I am building a frame up buggy and will be using SRW conf. 14 bolt rear and matching D44 front. I feel that the outside tire diameter may be a bit wide so i was wanting to go with H1 rims to keep the width down a bit and not have to make anything custom. Width wont be a problem for me. I have not messed with H1 stuff or a 14 bolt so I am trying to spend my $$ right the first time.

Anyone got a 14 bolt with stock H1 rims that can measure what the outside tire width is? Estimation?

Thanks for the help.

Also plan on making this a off road only rig with 38's.

SRW 14bolt (67" WMS) with H1's and 37x12.5's will put you at 76"-77" to the outside of the tires (mine was 76.5" before I put in my 1.5" spacers).
There's a couple of vendors on the site that make hi-steer arms for 44's that will clear the H1 wheels but what your going to have to check is if your turning radius is affected and if you have sufficient brake caliper clearance, on a 44 it may be a bit better but on my friends 60 the calipers rubbed (I'm running DRW hubs and a narrowed housing so it's not a problem) and having so much backspacing really limited his turning radius (hitting the springs) so we installed 2" spacers and that fixed both problems.
Your gonna have to spend some money on the D44 outters to make them last, H1's, beadlocks and 38's are going to be well over 100lbs each and will not be kind to balljoints and bearings.

on my "outboard or narrow" thread in Hardcore tech you will see pics of stock H1s and 14b/60 combo with 38x12.50 tires

Saw that, helped a lot. What is your outside tire measurements if you don't mind?
