There was a thread from years ago about machining the hubs for LS1 rotors
And I've seem to have lost it.
Anyone have the link?
Thanks

I always bring them down to 5.80, stock LS1 hubs were 5.75 fyi....ream your wheel stud holes for a .005-.007 fit for what ever stud you use

Re: There was a thread from years ago about machining the hubs for LS1 rotors
They do have the 1LE bearings but with the stock offset of the std hub. .800 thick decks and heavy webbing on the inboard side to support that deck. The best feature beyond all of those is the register is .800 tall, this means the rotor and the wheel have plenty to center off of, your stock rotor cut down into a hub is marginal with about .400 of register usually. After you stack a rotor you may have less than .100 for the wheel and you know they have a generous taper on the pilot hole for the wheel. In some cases the wheel may not even register off of that, then your dependent on the studs to center it. I don`t know if you have seen this but Lsx Matt did a video using these hubs not too long ago, he even has a code to get a discount on them if you watch it through.
