im after a set of wheels that use 102 pcd,not sure on offset and height yet but i want them for my trailer tent,its sat on 400 x 8 with 4" (102mm) pcd wheels now .the stud area is in the middle of the wheel if that makes sense .so if your looking at the wheel from the top it would be like this l l l <middle l being the stud are as opposed to a normal wheel having an offset like l l l can anyone point me to some wheels that may fit,i know its a long shot ,but id like it to be on proper wheels instead of (what i call) wheelbarrow wheels
Imp wheels have a 4" pcd. Don't think they would be metric? http://www.imps4ever.info/tech/wheels.html Hope this helps
A lot of old british cars have a 4" PCD on a 4 stud spacing. Imps, minis, other rootes and BL stuff. Fords were 4.5" I think. The trouble with looking for wheels from those is that all the wheels will be ancient, and they'll tend to be in smaller sizes (a lot of cars ran on 10, 12 or 13" rims at the most). Might work for a trailer though. I've never heard of a 102mm metric fitting, but 4 inch will be pretty close. My old man has several sets of mini wheels (some of which are well rallied) in his garage. Drop me a PM if you want me to check what he's got. They're in Central Scotland though.
thanks so far chaps,will read all this in depth later,102 is incorrect its 101.6 and there wont be any that size so ill change the title
thanks Mike but i'm no where near Scotland ancient wheels wont be tubeless neither will they? 10's,12's and 13's would be fine doubt it john its a torsion beam axle,will have a look though as ive thought of this myself and have a pair of VR6 rear's what are wobble bolts,ive never heard of them thanks all for links etc,very interesting
Never tried them myself but know of people who have used wobble bolts with no problems, these are them: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x20-12mm-x-1-...s_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item255e4ecdde
that's just answered my next question,i just did a search on wobble bolts,and i saw that you can use them to make a 98pcd to a 100,so my question would be can you go 4inch(101.6) down to 100,in that ebay link it says eg 112 to 110 and 108 to 122 so appears to go both ways,good news for me
Depending on what size you need Ive got a pair of 10" steel Mini wheels you can have for nothing. Failing that, MGBGT rostyle wheels are 13x6 4x101.6. Dan
Neil - answering the point on your previous post, all the old cars I mentioned are mainly tubeless - unless corrosion in the wheel has stopped it from sealing properly. A mate of mine just bought an Elva Courier, which runs on old Moggy Minor wheels. I noticed that they're 4" PCD as well. Given there are so many wheels about, it shouldn't be that much of a struggle to find something half decent, and pretty cheap. All those old rust buckets that got scrapped would have left a load of spare wheels kicking around.
Neil, there's a Mini specialist in Darlington, just off North Road, if that helps. Mini Machine. Been on the go years!! You could also try South Durham Scrappy off Green Street. Pretty sure they had an old style mini in there last week.
Dan thanks for the offer and your emails ,will let you know mate Mike good to know that there tubeless and yea i bet theres been loads scrapped ,did see a moggi 1000 a while back in the scrappy ,never crossed my mind,ill have to ask a lad i know who drives pre war stuff Rich ,still having probs getting over mate,but good to know that,which is that scrappy then,is it the one where thears a few together and a body shop,through those big double gates?
btw looked into wobble bolts a bit more ,cant see a set less than 35.00,so may not be an option unless i could find some 2nd hand ones
