Wilwood Starlite 55-XD Front Hub with Snap-Cap & Rotor Plate - Standard Offset 5/8 C Studs

Starlite 55-XD hubs elevate performance and versatility for racing applications that require uncompromised strength without excessive additional weight. At just over 7 pounds, the 55-XD achieves it superior strength and modest weight through a highly efficient redesign of racing’s most popular wide 5 hub, the Starlight 55. The 55-XD employs a bolt-on rotor mount plate that adds overall strength by eliminating the brake torque loading from the main hub body, by taking the stress loads of the braking torque out of the hub body and moving it to the thicker, stronger section of the hub near the inner wheel bearing, provides a measurable decrease in stress deflection in the body.

The Wilwood Starlite 55-XD front hub is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and durability for racing applications that demand high strength without adding unnecessary weight. Weighing just over 7 pounds, the 55-XD incorporates a highly efficient redesign of the popular wide 5 hub, optimizing both strength and weight savings. Its innovative bolt-on rotor mount plate enhances overall structural integrity by transferring brake torque loads away from the main hub body to a thicker, stronger section near the inner wheel bearing, significantly reducing stress deflection and increasing longevity. This design ensures that the hub can withstand the rigors of high-performance racing environments while maintaining reliability and ease of installation. Constructed by Wilwood, a leader in racing components, the hub features standard offset with 5/8-inch coarse threaded studs, making it compatible with a wide range of racing setups and brake systems. The inclusion of the snap-cap and rotor plate simplifies assembly and maintenance, providing a secure fit and quick serviceability for demanding racing applications. Whether used in track racing, autocross, or other high-performance motorsports, this hub offers a combination of strength, lightweight design, and ease of use to meet the needs of serious racers and automotive enthusiasts alike.
