Kimberley Karavans - Offroad Wheels and Tyres Advice


A major disappointment for Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover owners is to learn of the ?impossibility? to match the vehicle's wheels and tyres with that of a caravan or camper trailer.
The reason for the ?impossibility? was two fold:

1. The diameter of the studs required to match these vehicles is too tight to fit around a 2 tonne bearing, and
2. The centre bore of the wheel was also too small a diameter to fit over the outer housing of the wheel bearing.

Several manufacturers of hubs pronounced that it was 'too hard? and 'too expensive? to create a new casting to overcome these two major obstacles.
So we started at first principles at Kimberley and engaged a hub design specialist, then a casting specialist and finally advice from a metallurgist to create a hub that will accept interchangeable wheels and tyres with the current Land Rover Discovery series and Range Rover Series.
We are now re-writing the book on ?Interchangeable Wheels and Tyres?.
Naturally, how we have done this is proprietary and copyright and wont be published here.
