Title: Advice / Help Needed - How Can I Fit 19" Land Rover D4 Rims to Camprite?
Post by: HEAVYDUTY on April 01, 2013, 11:20:36 PM: Hi All,

I have a Camprite Campertrailer that has hubs to match a Nissan Patrol (my last vehicle). I chased up some matching 19" D4 rims with the aim of swapping the hubs to fit, giving me 2 matching spares for either the car or trailer when we go away.

Unfortunately all my investigations so far with the trailer companies in Perth is that it can't be done due to:
1. The spacing of the wheel studs being fairly narrow
2. The internal bore size of the rim centre (where the land rover cap sits) and
3. The offset of the rims.

The trailer has a AGTM of 1300kg, with independent trailing suspension (see attached photo's)

I am looking for any info or advice as to if it is possible, if so, any leads on who could carry out the work.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

This is so annoying, I've investigated this extensively.
In a nutshell I'm sorry to say its nearly impossible.

If the bore size doesn't get you the bolt pattern will.

I've had vehicle components, alko and a few others all try and hunt this down with no luck.

The overall offset was the one thing that wasn't the issue.
I've been trying to do this on 10" brakes, apparently there is someone that does it on disc hydraulic brakes, but never found them.

If you find something let me know, but I don't think you will.

Cheers
Justin

19's are poison expensive to buy/replace.

G'day Dave,

What brakes and bearings are you currently running? We just completed a camper for a guy who had the Land Rover 5 - 108 PCD and we matched the studs, offset and wheel nuts.. Looked awesome! Give Brisbane Axles & Trailer Components a call, speek with Les (07) 3890 4211 - I know they're on the other side of the country but maybe worth a chat :cheers: Dave

I will give them a try. Not sure exactly what my brakes are, but I think I need 120mm PCD, which sounds slightly different to the one you have just done.

Thanks for you help.

Cheers
Dave
