Question about Trigo fia wheels

[db replicas]

the Trigo FIA wheels have 1/2" more space for calipers than 427 wheels.

Db Replicas It might have a 1/2 inch more caliper clearance but how thick is the hub of the 9 1/2 inch Fia trigo wheel. If it is thicker than 3 1/2 it will have less that 4 turns of the spinner on my rear hubs to hold it on.


I ask Curtis at Trigo what the hub thickness was on the rear wheel and was told 3.725. At that thickness I would only have about 2 turns of the spinner to hold the wheel on. Not good!

I just need to get a simple real world measurement of a 9 1/2 wide Trigo FIA wheels hub thickness that will fit on an original car.

Logic says that it has to have a thinner wheel hub thickness and still maintain the right backspacing to fit on an original car. The rear hubs on the cars are shorter than the front hubs on these cars.

Hi Mark.
Flat face to flat face:-

Trigo FIA = 3 5/16"
Trigo 427 = 2 7/8"

Thank you. Your FIA wheel would give one more turn than the front wheel I have would . The 427 wheel would give me plenty of thread engagement.

I asked Curtis to re measure one of his wheels. We will see that he has to say.
