I want to upgrade my front spindles from ball joint to either combo or King Kong spuds. Question is: Do they make bearings for the bigger spuds that will allow me to use my 4 lug ball joint drums?

I think the wide five is just a stock five lug Volkswagen hub or rim

VW 200 mm stud pattern, not to be confused with late model dirt track wide 5.

The bearings in the link above will work on both stock wide 5 drums and for the billet hub from Appletree. I am running the billet hubs on my Funco.
