Replacement wheels must be designed for the particular hub/axle and have the same bolt/stud pitch circle diameter and the same centre location method. The wheel nuts or bolts must have the same tapers as the wheel. Wheels with slotted bolt/stud holes must not be used.
Replacement aluminium alloy rims must be located on the hub/axle by the same diameter centre spigot as the original wheel, using suitable adaptor rings where necessary.
Wheel nuts and bolts must have a thread engagement length at least equal to the thread diameter, except where specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer.
Wheel spacers (or adaptors for dual wheel conversions) between the wheel mounting face and the road wheel must not be used unless fitted as original equipment by the vehicle manufacturer.
Modifications to disc brake callipers, hubs and suspension and steering components to enable the fitting of replacement wheels must not be undertaken.

1st up, thanks for the replies guys. I have been in contact with Dave from Melbourne trailers and he'll do 10" electric Brake Hubs with 16mm studs for $127.xx each. Just waiting on a price on freight to see if it's viable.
I could buy local ones at $160 but then i would still have to source new studs and knock the other ones out.

... would you happen to know what classes as suitable adaptor ring?Quote:

The ALKO stud holes are bigger so you have to redrill the hubs/drums in a different place to fit LR 16MM studs.
Ask me how I know.
Regards Philip A
PS that is for the larger 9/16 studs that ALKO supply in 5x6.5ins.
My guestimate would be anything that isn't also a spacer.Quote:

They could also fit them with correct LR studs, so we can use LR alloy rims
That way with the positive offset of the latest Land Rover and Range Rover wheels the bearings will be correctly placed and Land Rover owners will be able to have common spares for heavier campers and trailers.
That seems to be talking about cars, not trailers, am I correct?Quote:

Unfortunately the only way to fit LR alloys (apart from 165 PCD type) is to use a spacer though.

heard back from Dave
$167.20 each for 10" electric brake hubs with 16mm studs (not 5/8ths like alko) and about $45 delivery (for two) to maitland NSW.
If you are running alloys you should get a centre spigot made up. Someone will tell you it's not necessary, blah blah, but I know of a D2 that had about 4 wheel balances before they worked out the issue was the RRS alloys not locating on the centre spigot, the same issue would be experienced with Deefer alloys. Steel wheels are fine they locate on the studs.
Cheers
Will
thanks MR LR. I will be runnning alloys and I'm pretty sure I've found 2 sources for the centre spigot, I just have to wait until the hubs are here so i can measure the inner & outer diameters that i will need.
you can ebay "hub centric ring" to find the sort of thing i am thinking of. my second option is to have a couple 3D printed. You can do this online if you have a design file and choose the material and finish it gets printed in. so i just have to work out what it should be made of.
