front wheel hubcap center hole size

[willroach8908]

Hey Folks,

i picked up four hubcaps today at the local junkyard. I need two of them to have holes for the front axle as it is a W350. I figured for the pice of the caps i could manage to cut the hole myself. Any one know what the factory size hole are supposed to be for these front caps? Any help is appreciated!

me too............

I'd like to know that hole size as well. Hub caps would look good on a 1st Gen. and I'm not talking about the small caps and rings. The hole size would be the same though... ... ... ... .....



Someone to measure and post please.



Thanks, Billy

im guessing about 4. 5 " or take some ard board and tap on top of it to get size

I went and cut them out at 5". I do think 4. 5" would of worked better. MY biggest issue is i couldn't get a hole saw to cut through the cap. I tried three different ones. I had to use a jig saw and a steady hand. but for a $10. 00 set of hub caps i didnt care.
