Default Gearhead/Locked Up 8-Lug Compatibility

Does anybody know if the AO8 flanges are the same bolt pattern as the Gearhead 1.55 UTE wheels, which also use an 8 bolt hub? The UTE wheels sit a little too far out for my current build, and I can't find any other hub offerings from Gearhead.

I am hoping to use the LURC 285 AO8 flange hub to cut down the offset a bit.

I dont know the answer to that but I can measure the 1.9 UTE wheels I have (you'll need to check with RPP or Gearhead if they use the same hub and screws as the 1.5). Then you can ask LURC what their hole spacing is.

This again is the 1.9 version, these measurements seemed pretty spot on though when I took the pictures the calipers moved some so it may look a bit off.

Thanks HumboldtEF! As far as I can tell, the 1.9 and 1.55 hubs are the same; at minimum, they do use the same 8-lug spacers so they should be the same. I'll message Locked Up and see if they can throw a few dimensions my way.

yeah I just looked at some pictures of each and they look like they may be the same.

I have both. AO8 and gearheads are different. This is specifically for 1.55.. LURC is much more scale sized...

14mm lug pattern 4mm between lugs. Much smaller than the shown gearheads.
