Alum 5x5 Rear Hub 8 Bt

The Alum 5x5 Rear Hub 8 Bt from HOWE is a premium aluminum rear hub assembly designed for serious circle track racers, street rod builders, and high-performance off-road enthusiasts who demand reliability under extreme loads. This hub serves as the foundation for custom rear axle builds where lightweight construction and precision engineering enhance handling, reduce unsprung weight, and improve acceleration.

Constructed from aluminum, this hub reduces rotating mass compared to traditional cast-iron hubs, improving acceleration response and reducing stress on drivetrain components. The 5x5 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with a wide range of wheels and aftermarket suspension systems common in circle track and street rod applications. Additionally, aluminum's superior heat dissipation properties help manage brake temperatures during sustained racing or heavy towing, extending component life and improving fade resistance.

At 13 lbs, this hub strikes the critical balance between strength and weight savings that separates competitive builds from amateur fabrications. It's ideal for racers building short-track race cars, fabricating custom hot rods, or upgrading dedicated off-road machines, where a quality rear hub is essential for optimal performance.
