Hub Wide 5 Starlite 55 5 -Bolt 1-Ton Drilled Stud

The Hub Wide 5 Starlite 55 5-Bolt 1-Ton Drilled Stud is purpose-built for heavy-duty truck and trailer applications demanding robust axle support and reliable wheel retention. Designed for vehicles equipped with Wide 5 bolt patterns—common on classic hot rods, vintage trucks, and modern off-road builds—this drilled stud assembly delivers the structural integrity required when upgrading to larger brake components, performance wheels, or increased suspension loads. Whether you're restoring a vintage Ford, building a competition off-roader, or converting a trailer to modern performance standards, this 1-ton rated component ensures your wheel assembly stays secure under extreme conditions.

The drilled design reduces unsprung weight while maintaining full strength—a critical consideration in performance applications where every pound affects acceleration, braking, and handling. The Wide 5 configuration provides superior load distribution across five mounting points, accommodating larger diameter wheels and wider tire packages common in custom builds. Manufactured to handle the stress concentrations inherent in 1-ton-rated applications, this stud assembly resists fatigue failure from repeated acceleration, deceleration, and cornering forces. The precision-drilled holes ensure proper weight reduction without compromising material density where strength is demanded, making this ideal for both street and competition environments.

Mechanics and fabricators favor the Hub Wide 5 Starlite 55 for restoration projects, custom truck builds, and trailer conversions where OEM studs cannot handle upgraded brake systems or oversized wheels. Installation requires standard wheel service equipment; proper torque specifications should follow your vehicle's suspension manual to ensure even clamping load across all five studs. This component integrates seamlessly with Wide 5 hub assemblies and compatible brake drums or rotors, making it an essential upgrade when transitioning from stock to performance-grade wheel packages. The 8.4-pound assembly represents a direct replacement or upgrade path for aging or damaged original equipment.
