Wide Five Hub Front with Superseded 07/01/16 VD

The Wide Five Hub Front with Superseded 07/01/16 VD is a precision magnesium front wheel hub engineered for high-performance racing and extreme off-road applications where weight savings and structural integrity are non-negotiable. Built by Winters, a name synonymous with competition-grade drivetrain components, this front hub assembly is purpose-built for enthusiasts running wide five lug patterns—common on circle-track racers, dirt modifieds, and custom-fabricated performance builds. If you're upgrading to a wide five hub configuration for improved load distribution or switching to forged wheels in that pattern, this hub delivers the precision fit and durability required for sustained high-RPM operation.

Constructed from magnesium alloy, this front hub combines low unsprung weight—critical for suspension responsiveness and acceleration—with the rigidity needed to handle radial and lateral loads without deflection or run-out issues. The magnesium construction reduces rotating mass, directly improving throttle response and reducing the energy your engine must expend to accelerate the wheel assembly. At 6.75 lbs, this hub is significantly lighter than cast iron alternatives, making it an ideal choice for weight-conscious builds where every pound matters. The natural magnesium finish resists corrosion under typical racing conditions, though exposure to moisture demands regular inspection and protective coating maintenance to prevent oxidation over extended storage periods.

Drivers and builders upgrading to wide five wheels will find this Winters hub provides the precision bore and lug spacing required for proper wheel seating and balanced load transfer. Installation requires proper bearing setup, brake rotor compatibility verification, and spindle alignment to OEM or custom-fabricated specifications. The superseded designation (07/01/16 VD) indicates this is a legacy part code; verify fitment with your vehicle's spindle diameter and axle tube configuration before ordering. Whether you're prepping a circle-track racer, a vintage hot rod, or a custom off-road rig, this front hub serves as the critical foundation for safe, balanced wheel assembly operation.
