Thread: Landrover wheels on your camper

Hi DM
If you havent read my trailer post see here
http://www.aulro.com/afvb/trailers-v...iler-born.html
If you dont want to butcher D2 alloys for spares as I did,get D2 steels for spares.They do fit the electric brake hubs.I was fortunate in that when I bought the Mrs her rangie,RichardK had 6 D2 alloys to throw into the deal.
I have 1 D2 steel rim which in time will be fitted with a matching trailer/D2 235/85x16 tyre which will fit both D2 and trailer.
My butchered trailer alloys are OK for the D2 but will need lower vehicle speed/frequent wheelnut checks if used on the D2.Gives me 3 spares!!!

hi guys

had the same problem with wheels for camper opted for cruiser wheels (oops sorry) yes I know its a sin but you can get the hubs cheap ,wheels cheap etc and I carry tyre pliers with me so if the unmentionable happens I can inter change tyres both ways

cheers mark

Ok have finally sorted my hub woes and have got a set of hubs that my steel fender rims will fit, however now the axel is too short becazuse of the toyo rims had an offset of 130mm and my fender has offsets of 150mm, anyone got any ideas that will help or am i up for a new axel aswell???

Is it a technical problem or an aesthetic one?

If your axle is too narrow I'd think your only options would be new axle or wheel spacers.

Just an update. I'm opting for Defender rims (my other tow vehicle) and these will of course fit no problem. Just means 2 spares for trailer and 2 spares for Disco or lots of spares for Defender.

I have D2 alloys on my camper, well they are P38a rims actually but they are the same, i had no problems fitting them to the hubs i have, which are basicly Commodore pattern drum hubs with D2 studs that a company in Melbourne made for me.

I am fitting disc hubs to my camper soon, i have already got the disc hubs and tested to make sure the D2 alloy rims fit and they do and have then fitted my D2 14mm studs, the disc hubs are Commodore PCD trailer disc hubs from any trailer place, i have just punched the Commodore studs (12mm) out, drilled the holes out to suit 14mm D2 studs and bingo done.

If your not confident doing this, then any engineering shop will do it for you, just take the hub and studs down to them and they'll do the rest.

I will post some pics of what they fit like.
