Billet replacement Hub options?

[67FirebirdKiller]

Please bare with me as I did search quite a bit but I'm getting a lot of brake upgrade threads. I'm running 5th gen brakes on my 1st gen bird and I'd like to upgrade to a billet hub like Kore3 offers but the conversion brackets work with stock parts so I'm looking for a billet hub built dimensionally the same....??

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Same as stock or same as Kore3?

X2...stock parts = what exactly? The KORE3 GM short-spindle (GMSS) hubs have the same flange offset as the factory Chevy drum hubs. The factory hub/rotor from the disc applications is approximately 7/16" per side wider than the Chevy drum application.

Sorry wasn't getting notifications. I'm putting 5th gen Brembos on the car and the brackets necessary require no modifications to the stock spindle or stock hubs however, I would like to upgrade the hubs to Billet but I noticed a lot of them are not dimensionally the same or have a wider track? This would mean improper rotor/caliper alignment no? Maybe I'm over thinking this?

Kore3 hubs are the same track width as stock drum hubs.

In fact I briefly had stock drum hubs on my 1967 GTO with the Kore3 C6 brakes. I then switched to Kore3 hubs. There was no difference at all in track width or brake mounting.

Ah ok, awesome. Thanks for the info Nick, appreciate it.

The only track width difference is due to the difference in hat thickness between a factory drum (.10") and whatever rotor you're using with your disc brake conversion, .30" in the case of a C5/C6 or Camaro SS swap, so the net increase in track width is .20" per side. The KORE3 and factory Chevy drum hubs have the same flange position as stated before.

Thanks Tobin for the added information, I was just worried that the width difference would cause the caliper to make rotor contact when bolted on that's all, as usual I was overthinking it. Thanks again
