Wilwood 270-17462C Starlite 55XD Dynamic Lug Mount Hub Adapter Kit for Wide 5 Front Axle

Wilwood’s Starlite Wide 5 “bubble” hub has been the standard in short track racing for over 40 years. It is the preferred foundation when building your race car’s brakes. The Starlite 55XD Lug-Drive hub combines three Wilwood innovations to create a strong, light racing hub for the most demanding racetracks.  The Starlite 55 series is an evolution of Wilwood’s original lightweight Starlight II hub which quickly became a benchmark. With its five-bolt drive flange and Snap-Cap, The Starlite 55 is one of the strongest, lightest Wide 5 hubs, and the 55XD is lighter still.  The Starlite 55XD version from Accesspeed reduces weight with just five rotor mount bolts at the hub’s reinforced center, which also reduces brake torque loading to the hub body. A lightweight forged aluminum adapter plate bolts to the hub.  Wilwood’s Lug-Drive dynamic floating rotor mount is a simpler, lighter system eliminating rotor bolts, T-nuts, bobbins, and safety wire. Drag and road race cars have used Wilwood’s Lug Drive system for years, and more than a season of extensive testing has been done on top circle track cars.  Starlite 55XD rear hubs use Wilwood’s five-bolt axle drive flange instead of the traditional eight-bolt design. This eliminates the weight of three steel bolts and the reinforced bosses they screw into.  Starlite 55XD front hubs eliminate all the bolts and bosses with the Snap-Cap. A lightweight fiber-reinforced composite plastic cap snaps into place to keep out dirt.  Accesspeed also carries Wilwood lug-drive rotors for these hub kits, sold separately.
