Default You are joking , right? Meaning less Vp hub sizes

Early this year I was trying to figure out which hubs to use for track width, it says sizes available are 225, 350, 475, 600 and so on.
VP SLW Hex Hubs
Now I am trying to upgrade to aluminum hubs and still no detail clarification of this size.
WHAT THE HECK is that???

How is this not a problem to fix and clarify!!??

What are the width's ??????


so much hassle , i almost would just make my own!!

I would assume that if you put a decimal point in front of those numbers you would know...

Its almost too easy to use VP hubs, making your own would seem foolish. First go directly to VP's website (Link Below) and pick your SLW wheel version (although they might be all the same in the offset dept). Scroll down the page and find your axle, then look at the chart to figure what hub size you need for your desired width. Easy cheesy

If your afraid to clicky, I'll even help. What axles are you running and whats the overall width?

It toook a LOT of searching to come up with berg axle widths. but I just bought the BIO hazards beadlocks and love them, except for the weight, so i'll have to shed some weight on em.

looks like I will pick up some .435" hubs for my scaler.

THANK YOU GUYS! for the info and for not flammin me.

I don't know if this will help you. But I made this graph to help me visualize what the different hub widths look like.
