Snap-Cap Front Hub W/Hubcap

The Snap-Cap Front Hub W/Hubcap from Wilwood is a purpose-built front wheel hub assembly engineered for high-performance vehicles running Wide 5 bolt patterns. This direct-mount aluminum hub serves as the foundation for serious brake and suspension work, designed for enthusiasts and professional mechanics who demand precision fitment and durability. Whether you're building a classic hot rod, restoring a vintage race car, or upgrading a custom street machine, this hub provides the structural integrity needed to support modern braking systems and wheel packages.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in natural (raw) form, the Snap-Cap Front Hub W/Hubcap features Wilwood's Starlite 55 design—a proven geometry that balances strength with minimal rotational mass. The Wide 5 bolt pattern (5x5.5 spacing) is a common specification for vintage American muscle cars and custom builds seeking authentic proportions without sacrificing modern brake technology. The included snap-on hubcap provides a clean, finished appearance while allowing quick access for maintenance. Weighing 8.85 pounds, the hub's compact footprint (13.25 x 8.45 x 13.3 inches) makes installation straightforward in tight engine bays.

This hub excels in vintage drag racing, street rod applications, and custom show builds where Wide 5 wheels are standard. The direct-mount design eliminates adapters, reducing unsprung weight and improving suspension response. Installation pairs perfectly with Wilwood brake kits and custom wheel combinations, though proper bearing selection and spindle compatibility must be verified before ordering. Mechanics value this assembly for its straightforward fitment and compatibility with aftermarket suspension geometry—essential when upgrading older vehicles to modern stopping power and handling standards.
