Adapting a 8 lug 8 wheel to 5 lug 4 1/2 pattern -

Posted by Bama Binder on January 06, 2004 at 18:55:04 from (68.220.203.115):

Anybody have any ideas about how to make this happen? I have a 184 Cub that needs flotation tires and found a used set of wheels and tires for a good price but the bolt pattern is wrong.

I have several thoughts. The simplest would be to take a couple of wheels with the 5 lug 4 1/2" pattern and cut out about a 10" diameter with a plasma cutter. Then I could weld this into the wheels with the larger pattern.

Alternatively, I could cut out the centers and drill matching 8 lug holes into the insert and bolt the insert into the larger wheel.

Any other ideas?

Thanks guys.
