hustler wheels

[mayhem2323]

i want to upgrade my wheels. i have 22x11x8 and a 5 bolt pattern. how do i convert to a 4 lug wheel. thanks.

This is going to be a big hassle to do this. First you would have to grind all the welds off and remove the stock studs, 30 in total, 5 lugs times 6 axles. Next, you would need to weld new round steel plates onto your hubs and drill through those plates and the stock steel plates. Then you would have to buy all new studs that are long enough to go through the stock hubs and the new steel plates you welded on. In my opinion, it isn't worth that boat load of trouble to do all this.

what would be the best way to get a different wheel. its hard to find tires for 8 inch wheels. do they have 5 lug wheels i 9,10,or 12 inch. thanks.

They have 5 lug wheels in 9" sizes......that's what Argo uses. I'd highly recommend some 25" tires for a Hustler 950. They're the largest size you can get and they make your Hustler look like a beast.

Yep, you should be in good shape. I know 6x6World member Jerseybigfoot put some 25" Rawhide III tires on his Hustler and they fit just fine.

Welcome to the family! There aren't too many of us with the 945-HK... As usual, jp is right on the money....
Much too much work, go with the argo wheels or pay for the mudox ones

[mayhem2323]

so the bolt pattern on the argo wheels are the same as my hustler correct. i would be just moving up a size in the wheels.

[jpswift1]

Yep, that's correct. 5 lugs by 4.5" is pretty much standard in the AATV world.

[mayhem2323]

ok thanks man. i really am thankful for all the help. i forgot how much fun this hobby is.

I also have a 945-hk, I found my tires on line at Tires Unlimited around $300 for all 6. If you decide to upgrade to a different size wheel, I would be interested in your old ones as I have a couple of bent rims that I need to replace.
