defender alloys on campertrailer

[rangietragic]

Has anyone put alloys on a campertrailer with 10" drums?

No but if its any help I have Defender 130 rims with 12" Drums & 2000kg stubs/bearings on my off road caravan,

Holroyd Goad make them

the bearings are massive compared to regular trailer / caravan bearings

the studs are plenty long enough for alloys but you would need to source nuts to suit.

Hi

I have a set of 10 rangie classic wheel studs to sell if that's any help.

Make sure you get some proper advice on this.

On an alloy, the wheel nuts are just there to stop the wheel falling off. They do not take any weight.

The weight is borne by a ridge on the hub that mates up to the big central hole in the alloy (does that make sense?).

I tried to get some hubs manufactured for my trailer so I could use my defender alloys, but couldn't find anyone to do this properly.

In the end I went Land Cruiser wheels because the hubs were available off the shelf :(

I worked at sunshine trailers in vic for a while. We would not fit alloys to camper trailers for same reason as above

Not sure about alloy rims but i have ford transit hubs which are the same PCD and they have the step that my steel disco rims fit snuggly on.
Studs need to be replaced with landy ones but otherwise they work well.
