I had a look at the rims on the VE at work yesterday and they look as if they have the same offset as the Disco steel rims.

Might do a trial fitting one day, they are 16s too.

OK I finnally got around to seeing if the new Commodore wheel nuts and studs are the same pitch and thread as the D2 AND yes they are, got a wheel nut from a new Commodore (mag wheel) and put it on the stud from my camper and bingo fits perfectly.

Does this mean a commodore 16" wheel will fit a D2? Go easy on me here as I am assuming a great deal here, like, they make a commodore 16" wheel. etc.

Yes and Yes the new Commodore VX/VY has 16" rims.

OK, so does this mean any commodore 16" 5 stud rim will fit, or are there restrictions in terms of the models they come off.. i'm assuming that commodore rims are relativley cheap compared to the ridgey didge LR option.

Hi Nick,

I don't think Commodore wheels will on a DiscoII because of wheel offsets. But if you get hubs from a late Commodore and put them on a trailer, Disco II wheels will then fit.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

only if the wheel center is big enough for the hub end cap - that was the problem with doing this for d2 wheels with the old commodore hubs (pattern was right but had to change the studs as commodore was 12mm) the wheel needed to be machined, and some here will say that that won't work - but there are many (i owned one) running around like that

actually will still have to change the studs as trailer parts are imperial so you will get 9/16 studs... unless you use automotive parts.
