Leon's LXi Modifications

[davidbrady]

Al,

I put an email into Leon to see if he can give us more details. I'm confused as to which Alcoa wheel he used. The Alcoa catalog shows two 10.5" wheels but they have different bolt circles, 335mm for the 80350X, 285.75mm for the 80360X, my Prevost runs 803601's. (The bolt circle is the diameter of a circle that passes thru all the hub studs; measure from the center of one stud to the center of the opposite stud). Leon told me the Prevost wheel won't work so that leaves 80350X, but I think the bolt circle on that wheel is wrong. Leon also said he had to install longer wheel studs to accommodate the thicker webbing of the 10.5" wheel.

My H3 weighs 52,000 lb with 16750 lb on the steer axle. My tire pressures are 95, 85, and 85 psi for the steer, drive, and tag axles respectively. I'm running 365's, 315's, and 365's, steer, drive and tag. It's a phenomenal ride.
