I had to replace all of my brakes last week. When I looked at the front rotors it shows unusual wear. I took them back to EBC for a new set and they said it looks like my hubs are bad.

I have 28,000 on the truck and a 4.5" spindle lift and no spacers. Previously I ran a 20x12 -44 offset and 35x12.5x20 tires. Last summer I switched to a 20x10 -19 offset.

I can't tell any difference in the driving or noise. I would warranty them but Dodge will screw me because of the lift and other mods done.

What brands has anyone else used?

Wow I would NOT think you'd have hub issues already , even with the big -44 negative offset wheels .
I agree with 69GWC , seems early ...

That's expected with that kind of offset and depending on driving style like if you're a pothole dodger or ya hit every one. Puts a lot more stress on those parts.

Running that kind of offset is hard on hub bearings for sure.
still seems early though.

That's what I was thinking. I was talking to a buddy locally whose went out at 80K and that was due to heavy offroading.

I wish I had stock wheels to put on it and take it in for warranty.

I hit whatever is in my path. Unless it can scratch the truck :)
