Thread: D3 trailer hubs

Actually most trailer hubs can take different size studs without drilling - trailer studs are very often the same size splines for different size studs. Speak to your trailer parts supplier who can best advise - but I get it all to match the car if you were able.

Not when going from 7/16 to 14mm, you need to drill the hole to suit the larger 14mm stud.

Just make sure before you buy the hubs, test that centre boss on the hub fits into the centre hole of the D3 rim.

I did say most - implying not all - however on the Commodore trailer brakes I purchased I was able to tap out the 7/16 studs and tap in the 14mm studs as they has the same size spline in the inside of the stud - we are talking studs made and provided for trailers and not studs supplied by Holden.

I never knew this until I went to the trailer place and had been looking at car studs (by the way genuine VE Commodore wheel studs are different front to rear but not sure of the reason - length maybe).
