Trailer Wheels

[Mindi]

Have a REDCO Sportsman trailer 3 yrs old...pretty standard product. Have just established that it has(ex factory) 13" wheels with an HT stud pattern and Ford slimline stubs and bearings. Not HT wheels (14") but a 13" wheel with HT stud pattern.
How the hell do you buy a second hand spare for a dogs breakfast like that..?

ring REDCO mindi they will have them or leed u in the right path i would think. or try the wreckers , i have redco and the size is 7/16 on my wheel nutz

Active Fabrications at Beenleigh would have what you want.
New but probably the same price as a second handy.
Or try the tyre places. They can get new rims in too.
Only difference the Ford bearing should make is the studs are bigger at 1/2" not 7/16.
HT stud pattern is also EH or Torana (Not A9X or L34 though) which are stnadard 13"

They are the same as Torana wheels , I have 3 alloys with tyres in Sydney that will suit you but it won't be cheap to post them up to you .
If you can't find one as a last resort you know I have them .
I would recomend anyone buying a trailer to buy one with Ford stud patern (5x114.3), you can get rims anywhere for them and they have 1/2" studs.

must be millions of old Holden 13" wheels laying about, look for some alloys ones so you do not need to galvanise them, but put tubes in them, tubless will slowly go flat and p!ss you off big time.

That is pretty standard for the trailer industry.......the most common combination for a 1 tonne axle is exactly that.....ford slimline bearings HT holden stud pattern and 13" wheels.

the studs should be standard HT size too.

any of the trailer suppliers should have those wheels available off the shelf in a variety of choices with and without tyres fitted.

If you have a 1 tonne trailer you will need to run light truck tyres.............be carefull as some of the aloy wheels have a 50PSI limit and the tyres may not spec up to the load rating at 50PSI....you may need 55 or 60 psi.

Unfortunately a name brand 13" light truck tyre is a bit hard to come by.... but the better chineese/ korean or indian tyres aren't all that bad.
I understand dunlop make a 13" light truck....but I havn't seen one my self.


some of the alloy wheels the inflation hole isnt able to take a tubeless valve stem.....and it isn't uncommon for some of the alloy wheels to be pourous.......if they are porous I'd be sus about the strenght...............

steer away from the multifit glavanised wheels ( drilled for both ht and ford pattern) if you can.

there are 2 or 3 versions of the alloy wheels avaiable....and standard gal steel.................make sure you have the right wheel nuts.

my choice now would be standard gal steel.

All trailer spares at salsbury is another supplier.

Thanks everyone for the helpful info.... cheers

Same as mine.

13inch HT on Ford axle and hubs.

Any major tyre place will have want u want. A month ago on the way to Tin Can I picked up a gal rim and 2 new tyres(light truck) at Bob Jane at Nambour.

Standard fare they reckon.
