Raven Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Try BMW wheels. Same stud pattern :yes: Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Try BMW wheels. Same stud pattern :yes: The problem is that they need to be light truck rated as I am carrying 3550KG. I bought 5 rims all-ready the same as my Ute. pictured in previous post with the shackle pin close is my spare tyre off my Ute. the plan was to run light truck tyres & rims the same as my Ute so i can interchange if needed. Pictured these are the rims I'm hoping to use The R411 Duravis is a tyre designed for the Holden One Tonne Ute. Featuring a light truck construction, the R411 Duravis offers heavy load carrying capacity of 900kg per tyre without compromising ride comfort and handling at highway speeds. Manufactured in Australia and developed for Australian conditions, the R411 Duravis is also suitable for similar vehicles requiring higher load carrying capacities. and a speed rating of 170km p/h Edited January 2, 2009 by KE30_KE35_KE55 Quote
trav_555 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 ahh, you will figure the lil problems out I'm sure :jamie: shes coming along nice though :yes: Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 ahh, you will figure the lil problems out I'm sure :jamie: shes coming along nice though :yes: Thanks trav, I can use 10mm spacers but its a bit dodgy. the boss and studs are plenty long enough to do it. Quote
trav_555 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 ive only heard bad about spacers, and that much weight on them :yes: :jamie: i wouldnt there has to be something you can do other than spacers? more offset rims? surely theres a light truck rim with dish? Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 Day 6 cont I will have a think about the wheels I have a few options, I pressed on and fitted the guards and rear light holders. Quote
trav_555 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 gaurds look good, welds look good, even from a distance, glad to see it wasnt fully welded, was done right :yes: Quote
TE278U Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Day 6, 2 big problems, 1 wheel off set , 2 spring shackle bolt almost rubbing on tyre. I spent a lot of time today working out how to overcome these problems, I ordered the axle spring set to suite holden vy tonner rims, to fix the clearance between the tyre and shackle bolts, simply undo the bolts and feed them in from the wheel side, then it only needs to clear the head of the bolt. hope that helps. -dave Quote
cuzzo Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 that trailer is going to weigh a tonne. Quote

I will first contact where i ordered my axles from and ask them to fix it at there cost I told them the trailer width and wheels etc. Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 that trailer is going to weigh a tonne. That was the plan axles and hitch rated at 3550 KG , trailer 1000 KG So carrying capacity 2550 KG I hope it doesn't go much over 1 tonne or it will affect the carrying capacity Quote
KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Posted January 2, 2009 how you going to make the ramps I will finish the trailer off and paint. the ramps will need to be fabricated from 40mm .4mm wall rhs. , I am a bit worried i might go into overtime on the project. Quote
