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

The Hub Wide 5 Starlite 55 5-Bolt 1-Ton Long Stud rear wheel hub from Wilwood represents purpose-built engineering for high-performance braking systems on heavy-duty applications. Designed for vehicles operating at or near 1-ton capacity, this hub serves operators who demand reliable stopping power in tactical, commercial, or off-road environments where standard brake components fall short. The long stud configuration and wide 5-bolt pattern provide secure wheel mounting while accommodating larger rotor diameters and advanced caliper designs that deliver consistent, fade-resistant braking performance.

Manufactured from aluminum, the Starlite 55 hub construction reduces unsprung weight without sacrificing structural integrity—critical for vehicles where rotational inertia affects acceleration, handling, and fuel efficiency. The 1-ton race design integrates precision bearings and a direct-mount interface that minimizes brake pad knockback and maximizes thermal dissipation during sustained braking cycles. At 9.45 pounds, this hub delivers the strength-to-weight ratio that separates professional-grade brake systems from consumer alternatives, with natural aluminum finish that resists corrosion while remaining easy to maintain and service in field conditions.

This rear hub assembly benefits tactical vehicle operators, fleet managers, and enthusiasts building or upgrading heavy-duty brake systems on trucks and utility vehicles designed to carry substantial loads. The long stud pattern accommodates wheels with wider offset ranges, while the wide 5-bolt configuration ensures compatibility with common heavy-duty wheel specifications. Installation requires proper bearing adjustment and alignment with matching Wilwood caliper and rotor assemblies; consult vehicle-specific brake upgrade documentation and verify wheel bolt pattern compatibility before ordering to ensure correct fitment and safe operation.
