    Wheel Offset

    I am after some advice
    I have a No5 Army trailer that has the same wheel track as a series Land Rover this was fine until i bought a Defender.
    It looks like the No5 has a wheel track of 130cm and the Defender 150cm
    I know I will never gain a full 20cm by changing wheels but maybe I could gain a little.
    Can anyone give some advice on what rims I could use to reclaim a bit of the difference the existing rims are AYG8108.

    What about maintaining the rims and hubs and replacing the axle. I don't think the axles are all that expensive.

    I'm not up to speed on No.5 parts or sure how concerned you are with originality of those parts, but if the No5 hub doesn't use one of the standard spindles on the axle, then the Rover pattern hub is still available from companies like Alko.
