Trailer rims

[Gilli]

Might be a bit of a stupid question, but how would you know if your trailer rims were either holden or ford. Just looking at mine today and noticed one rim had a bit of a dodgy repair done to it by the previous owner and think i might replace it.

cheers,

draw an imaginary circle round the centre of the studs and measure the diameter[ATTACH]sum[/ATTACH]

I'm looking into getting some new rims too, tyres to fit the ones I have a hard to come by. I think mine are a holden 4 stud patern, but can't be sure

Yeah mine are 5 stud pattern but werent sure if they were holden or ford. Measured them out and called a mate who works at a tyre place and he said they are holden and that it is rare to get ford ones on a ruhle trailer.

Bought a new spare & rim for mine.....HT Holden rim

Thought ........"I'll make sure it fits"
.................................................. ........and found out I had Ford rims on the trailer.
Fortunately I was having the Brakes redone that same week, so put new HT axle hubs on & bought 2 more new HT rims.
Woulda been a real problem if I hadn't checked.
