They are still working out the details on that, I should know later this week.

are you serious or is this an april fools joke? come on man! now what? Can we just wait until they get the 18's retooled and how long will that be?

Since i have to get new hubs and rotors (6 lug to 5 lug) what should i buy to make these wheels fit? I'm basically starting from scratch to make hese wheels fit.

To make the current 18s fit, you need the light-duty (1" thick) rotors up front, which require different spindles and calipers as well. If you're replacing this stuff anyway, it's no big deal -- just be sure of what you're ordering. Out back, there's no issue other than making sure your backspacing is correct, which may require spacers and will be an issue even after the new revision is out, since the only thing being changed is the hub bore.

Well i like having the option instead of being limited to one size but if i have to instead of not getting them at all i will, but if i wait since i'm not ready just yet, do you think this issue will be resolved in a month?

yeah what he said...when I first ran into this problem I called ECE to see what they thought and they said I could take my drop spindles off and they could replace (uhhh shoot, whats that part called) the THING so they'd accept the 1" rotors but I didnt have a place to do the work and leave on jacks for a couple weeks so I held off....but it is an option. BUT back to what Brossow said, if your not done with the conversion none of this is even an issues...just plan acccordingly

[Boise69]

is there a DIY on swapping out the drums to the rotors? Since i havent done this yet, i will just order the parts that will fit and like DirtyJack said, i'll call ECE to order the parts. But if someone can send me a link to the actual job i'd much appreciate it!!

Brossow... just send me the wheels i ordered, i wont wait.

sorry for sounding ignorant here, but just wanted to make sure:

the grey 20's, in a 8.5 front and 10 rear, are ready to ship? or are they back ordered?

the 18 x 8's are in stock, right and ready to ship?

i have 1" rotors, so i shouldnt have a problem w/hub issues, i dont think either way, just trying to decide between the 18's and the 20's....cant seem to make up my mind....if i know one is in stock and ready to go, and one isnt, that would help me decide

thank you

I have nothing to do with your order. Contact Sublvr72 about that. I just got the ball rolling on this; Sublvr72 is the business end of things.

They are the only revised wheels in stock and ready to ship. Everything else involved in the -3 revision is still in production.

With the 1" rotors, there are no hub issues using the old revision, either 18s or 20s. The old 18s (and 20s, I assume) are in stock and ready to ship in all finishes (AFAIK -- verify through Sublvr72).

[darthwall]

don't the -2 18's have a different center cap than the -3 version I thought I saw this in one of the posts

Yes, they will ... or should. Can't say for sure because they're not out yet.

[darthwall]

ok well looks like im just going to do 20's all around then

[TyKby2]

I have the 1.25" rotors, but since I plan on lowering my truck I'll just switch to the 1" rotors, so the -2's should be fine.

take into consideration that you have to run different calipers with the 1" rotors as well
