I have moser axles for a DSE quadralink. The hub that goes in to the disc brake hat doesn't stick out to locate the wheel at all. This means my wheels are going to be lugcentric. Forgeline doesn't express any concern with it. Moser doesn't either. I was only able to find one thread off this forum from the past from someone in the same boat, and it looks like they just went with the lugcentric design.
My only difference is that I will be using 15mm thick wheel spacers. These will be in an 800hp at the crank build with a T56 magnum and 3:70 eaton tru-trac. The wheels are 19x12s. THe moser axles have the 1/2-20 studs. I am asking about two variables in this thread: 15mm wheel spacers with lugcentric wheel location. I hate to use wheel spacers, but I figured my backspacing before deciding to go a little wider. I know they're not good practice, but even without spacers the axles are designed to be lugcentric. Forgeline says their hubs are .003" oversized from standard, so I'm not sure getting a hubcentric spacer does much. I had considered boring out the brake hat hub to fit a sleeve around the short moser axle locator stub and having a custom 15mm spacer made that had one side as a male extrusion to locate the wheel. The other side of the spacer would have a female bore to accept the sleeve that was located on axle locator stub. Any thoughts from people with experience with lugentric wheels and spacers?
