The forgeline center lock conversion is available for all of our 3 piece wheel designs.

Here is the photo summary:

1. We start with the hub adapter. This sits on the shelf like this. But when you order, then we drill it and machine the center to match your existing hub. Shown here is the naked undrilled adapter, GT nut threaded onto the adapter spindle, flush-loc end cap, and the wrench for the end cap.


2. You'll bolt this adapter to your existing hub using our special funky drive pin lug nuts. Use your vehicle's original lug nut torque spec to bolt the adapter to your hub.


3. Then you grease the threads, wheel, and center lock nut.

4. Then your wheel slides over the adapter. The back of the wheel is machined with holes that match the drive pin lug nuts, so you'll rotate the wheel until the holes slip over the drive pins. This interface serves as the point of torque transfer.


5. Then screw on the main center lock nut. You have the choice between a hex nut or this gear-like GT nut. You'll torque it to 300 lb/ft . The kit includes the adapters for either nut, and it includes a 2 ft. breaker bar. (So we assume that a 150 lb. guy will put 100% of his weight on the bar.)


6. Finally the new Flush-Loc kit also includes a fine-threaded logo end cap. These thread into the inside of the hub adapter to A.) cover up the hole, B.) look pretty, and C.) serve as a lock nut to the main center lock nut.

Mark, do you take material off of the wheel center to make up for the adapter or do we just adjust the back space?

We treat the adapter like a 10mm spacer and simply account for it in the offset.

In other words, if that corner would have been +35mm originally, then we make the center lock wheel at +45mm and slip it over the 10mm adapter.

perfect Mark, thank you.

So if we gave you a backspace that we measured you would factor that 10mm in there for us right?

Yep no problem. You give us your original numbers, and we'll make the necessary adjustments to make it all work.

After seeing this I may rethink my next wheel choice.
