Landrover wheels on your camper

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>AL-KO make them -[/b][/quote]

If you are going to ring AL-KO ring the Melbourne office cause the halfwit at the Sydney office was very helpfull, NOT :twisted: he told me to go to classic trailers, (guess what classic don't do Landrover) as it would be very hard to get the hubs didn't have them in stock, would have to ring Melbourne get them made, blah blah blah blah blah, i got the impression he was not interested in helping me "to hard basket" :twisted: The guy in Melbourne on the other hand was very helpfull [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sydney AL-KO only stock hubs they don't make them, they are all made in Melbourne.

No the RR P38A yes centre to centre is 120mm, ford is 114mm don't know about BMW.

P38A and Disco II have the same PCD (pitch circle diameter) so wheels from either will bolt onto the other. BMW rims also fit.

So all you guys with these vehicles have to do is ask for Commodore stud pattern (120pcd) hubs and as most trailer hubs use either Holden or Ford wheel bearings find out which ones are on your trailer and go to SuperCheap or any where else that sells trailer hubs and buy them off the shelf. Easy!!!

Only one problem with that is Disco SII studs are 14mm and won't fit in the commodore wheel stud hole as they are 12mm and the landy centre hole is how the wheel is centered on the hub not by the wheel nuts as with others, so not so easy eh.

The reason for trying to get Landy wheels on the camper is so you have an extra spare for the tow vehicle i could put commodore rims on but they won't fit the car so pointless really.

Anyway finally got my hubs made for the trailer after some major hassels now for the rims have settled for the Rangie alloys as they fit the Disco the cheapest i could find in steel made for the SII was Rockcrawler rims at $175 from a place in Melbourne called offroader.com.

Other than that have them made by a rim place at around the same price.

www.offroader.com.au

they import them from the US, look pretty good.

Baz, if you haven't got the RR alloy rims yet, I've still got a couple at $125 each and a couple with slight damage at $75 each.

Ron

I've sent you a pm Ron, thanks.

G'day Redback,
Sorry I should've expanded my post a bit more, Commodore and BMW share the same stud pattern and as p38arover had said that "BMW rims also fit" My suggestion re hubs was aimed at the stud pattern and would assume that the appropriate studs would have to be fitted to match the requirement. To my knowledge no vehicle relies on the hole in the centre o the rim for supporting the vehicle and that the studs are the main wheigt bearing feature holding the rim to the hub otherwise the hole would be an neat fit onto to the hub.
As for 14 studs to suit the hubs (depending on length required) VW Kombis and late model 5 stud Landcruiser also use 14mm which should fit the Land Rover nuts.
Cheers, Ian.

I meant BMW 4WD rims.

Also, I just checked - Series IIA-III/RR classic/Disco 1 wheel nuts won't fit my P38A. They are bigger than the P38A.

Ron

series II wheel nuts are smaller than series III wheels nuts so they will not fit.

IIa may fit but II definetly dont [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

Thanks Ian, looked at the Cruiser nuts differant thread pattern (mate has a 5 stud cruiser) but did not know about the Kombie nuts and studs might look at those, i thought that the centre hole thing was a bit strange i'd never heard of this either but not knowing much about the DII thought it could be true anyway got my rims, alloys, now just gotta get nuts and tyres.

Thanks all for your help

Baz.

hi guys i have just gone through the Defender axle and wheel problem with the new All terain camper trailer it cost a $600.00 above the 6 STUD Land Cruser to have a compatable wheel to axle combo for a Defender axle to have a second spare wheel for the Defender to suit the trailer
