Trailer wheels - holden or ford?

[Phredo]

Here's a test for someone:

1991/92 Redco Tinka Trailer, dual axel.

13" Wheels, but are they Holden or Ford pattern?

Anyone know?

13" i would think Holden but I would not stake my life on it, just the most likely.

[Mr__Bean]

Check the diameter of the wheel studs.

Holden use 7/16 inch studs (11.1mm).

Ford use 1/2 inch studs (12.7mm).

I would say Holden. But heres another test for you, are they HK, or HQ stud pattern, there be a differance.

[Noelm]

HQ never had 13" wheels but the HK to HG had the same pattern as the early 13" even though they had 14" fitted.

[Roughasguts]

Oh yeah that's right Noelm, went from 13 to 14, inch rim.
But for the price of a rim you may be better off going 14 inch as the tyres are many and cheaper.
13's these days, for tyres are hens teath, and you pay big bucks for them.
