2011 Chevy 3500 Dually build w/H1 24 bolt wheels
- Thread starter Rykstone
- Start date
Here is the new center. There are two pieces that we needed to weld together. The main is the cylinder. The inner diameter is a 10 1/2" and outer is 11 1/2". It is 3 1/8" in height. This height provides us the necessary depth from the original wheels and spacing. The center piece was by no means cheap. At $120 for each new center and $30 to ship it. This project will be expensive. There are added costs of course which is to included the plate that is welded to the new center and the special welding rods needed to weld to the Hutchinson rim as well as the Lathe and Mill time for each rim and shop labor.

Make sure you support that Titan tank. Almost every Titan tank I've seen in my shop had both ends sagging. I went with a Transfer Flow tank on my 2500HD, 8 gallons less than the Titan tank(short bed), aluminized steel construction. Zero issues with it to date. Whoever the moron is at GMC that put a 26 gallon tank in a diesel truck (37 in the long beds is a liittle better) should be keel hauled.
I'm still not sure I understand all the work for the H1 wheels. Your answer seemed to indicate lots of add ons (weight), guessing that's the reason for them?
Nice truck/plans, don't see many dually's out there. It'll be fun to watch this thread.

bob91jy, doesn't Titan make a support system with such tanks or should i be looking forward to making support brackets for it?
There are quite a few reasons for the 24-bolt rims. Weight is one main reason. However, I am in complete love of the HMMWV wheels. Ater seeing the abuse that these wheels can take, it is unreal! I also want the ease of being able to change out any part on the rim as well as the tire.
I appreciate the watching of my thread and hope others can learn as I learn.
We caught a storm here last night so I will be putting the prototype wheel on later this week. I need to check the turning radius as well as the rear inside dual to see if there are any clearance issues. What we are ultimately trying to accomplish is to run these wheels without having to run any spacers on the front or rear.

Let us know if you are interested. We are going to be making a limited production run of these with any dually bolt pattern.
