If you run modified drw hubs, post up and let me know how they have worked for you.
Im talking about when the outer flange is machined off, and the rotor mounting flange starts doing double duty (holding the rotor and the wheel). I have turned down a couple sets of hubs like this, and never had an issue, or heard of anyone else having an issue with the welded flange failing. Now i have heard speculation that it is possible for it to break off, but to date, thats all i have heard, unconfirmed fears.
I just turned down a set a couple days ago to go with an axle i sold, and the guy is worried they wont hold up to his ~35" tires on his blazer. in my opinion, theres nothing to worry about, seeing how my 1 ton truck (on 38.5 sx's) has been launched all 4 wheels in the air several times with the same type of hubs without incident. i have a buddy that turned his down 4 years ago and has run 42's on them since, some times half full of water, also with no issues.
So, anyone ever busted one?
heres pics of how i machined mine, for reference...
