    WW2 Jeep trailer landrover wheel adaptor.

    I didn't know where to post this thread.....
    To the brains trust.
    I have come by a WW2 jeep trailer which I scrapped as it was extremely rusty.
    I saved the springs and axle.
    The jeep trailer hubs have adaptors for use of series Two Landrover wheels as some jeep trailers were used behind landrovers before the No 5 military Landrover trailer came into use.
    The question is what was the landrover wheel stud pattern based on early rover cars?????
    The trailer had not jeep or landrover wheels but 15 inch car wheels of some sort....but from what type of car.
    Looks alittle bit like a old Volkswagon beetle wheel.

    I seem to recall that the very early Holden (FX218,FJ) 15" rim had the same PCD as the Land Rover wheel, it's been a long time since I have laid eyes on an early Holden rim, but that could be your answer, cheers Dennis

    What Dinty said. FJ holden was the same as land rover. I use FJ rims converted to 13" x 6" on my trailer when its behind my car and land rover wheels when its behind my S3 to keep the trailer level when empty.

    Yes the smaller 15 inch wheels and tyres were fitted to lower the trailer to tow behind a car.
