Titan Rims 18x8 on 86 1/2 Hardbody Help!!!!!!!!!!!

I really need to know what the specs would have to be in order for them to fit. Tried to put them on tonight, big mistake. I want them to be machined so if you have the specs I would be more then happy. Thanks!

I believe the limiting factor is the hub center. The one on your truck is bigger than on the Titan. You can pay a machine shop to bore out the center. I've also seen some video of someone doing it with a router.

Thanks! Yes i know that I just need to know how much it needs to be machined too. Like the specs of the measurements to be machined.

How come you don't just take the stock wheel and get the shop to measure that? Or did you have your truck stored on cinderblocks beforehand?

[joshymoshy19]

Like measure my stock rim??

[PapaSmurf2k3]

No, he's saying bring it to whatever shop you're going to have the work done at.
Give them the stock wheel, and the Titan wheel. Then say "Make this one like this so it can fit".
That's how I got my hub-centric wheel spacers made. I brought in a spare wheel and the guy did it up for me.

Got it. Thanks gentlemen!

Yeah to do it right you'd need a set of calipers. I'm guessing you don't have a set. The machine shop will (or at least should).

[joshymoshy19]

What do you mean by a set of calipers?

So i took them to the machine shop (the only one in my area that would even touch them) he said 300 for all four and not a really good job at that! So i opted to just do it myself with the router.

Don't kill yourself.

This will end well. That machinist sucks, btw.

[joshymoshy19]

Lol I know right. Well youtube should set me kinda straight but its almost worth having them done right. Cause if I fu** them up I'm going to be mad!

[Dattebayo]

I used to deal with a machinist like that in my area, he tried to charge me too much for small time work also. I finally found a good, honest and busy shop in another town. I'd try to find another if I were you.

[joshymoshy19]

Ya maybe I should. Idk everyone doesn't want the liability I think. Plus there are tires on the rims. But it should not cost more then 100 so idk what the deal is. I think it only needs from 3" to 4" and 1/2" deep so it should be cheap.
