Title: Accuride Wheels
Post by: eagle19952 on July 02, 2015, 10:51:45 AM
pn # 27406 is a 7400 lb wheel (two hole) and # 28410 is a 8000 lb wheel. (two hole)

Does it matter which one a person buys for the steer axle on a model 05/10 Eagle.

Unless my numbers are wrong, why would they even build a different wheel that is 400lb different ?

Thanks  in advance :)

part number 2841 has no hand holes, according to this.  http://www.wheelsnowinc.com/catalog/viewItem.php?id=228. (http://www.wheelsnowinc.com/catalog/viewItem.php?id=228.)  Might be for front wheels of dump trucks or something.

Edit:  The accuride product lookup says it has two holes.  http://www.accuridewheelendsolutions.com/products/accuride-wheels-product-search/ (http://www.accuridewheelendsolutions.com/products/accuride-wheels-product-search/)

28410 has a thicker disk, .472" compared to .437" on the 27406. .035" doesn't seem like much but when you factor in torque and flex on a steer axle it can mean the difference between turning and have a wheel flex to the braking point.
