the old trailers we have from mid 1990's use VB-VK rims. the studs are weak and the rims are offset [inward] lots. to replace hubs with recent parts we have to alter the axle length.
My car trailer fitted with 9 inch drum with ford studs. they used hilux and magna rims. I have 18 inch AU falcon rims that fit with the same track.
You obviously have a Land Rover, so why don't you use Land Rover rims and hubs, I'm assuming you have a series, Defender, RRC or D1, that pattern is an off the shelf item at trailer places.
The issue here is the later D2/P38/D3/D4 120PCD, I think he wants to match the trailer to his tow vehicle, which is 120PCD and M14 x 1.5 pitch thread studs, which only comes on the later Commodores as he has mentioned.
For the life of me, I will never understand why the Caravan and trailer indutry is still using imperial products, every other industry in the world uses Metric, even the American car indutry is metric, all Japanese vehicles are metric, so why are Land Cruiser hubs and studs from AL-KO imperial, and why are Commodore studs for the 120PCD hubs still 7/16ths, when the car has M14 X 1.5 pitch thread studs, AL-KO is a Europian company, so why is AL-KO Australia still using and making imperial products
Amazing really,
Baz.
