Thanks hayseed

That may be an option as well.

Cheers

Doing a very rough conversion to Imperial you need 8 (stud) on 5 7/16" PCD (pitch circle diameter) with a 7 7/8" bore. Offset will need to be measured from you original wheels.
Some Jap trucks may have a similar drilling and well worth looking at. Some old time Pommy drillings may also match up but will be Imperial not metric.

After visiting three Bridgestone dealers I finally got them balanced. The fella who balanced them said the rims took a lot of weight and I should piss them off and put tubeless on.

The problem There MAY be in the Tyres & not the rims.. How Much Weight was needed on the Old Tyres??

EDIT: i much prefer to get My Steer Tyres Balanced on the Truck. That way whole thing (Tyre, Rim, Hub & Drum) is balanced..

yeah I did it as a radius so double the number I wrote to get the correct PCD of 10 7/8"

Bit late seeing this thread, but noticing your picture with dimensions Ash and went out to check my Bedford rims: 220 & 275 as per your dimensions, but stud to stud is closer to 105 not 110? :oops: :huh:

As an alternative you might be interested by Bad Chad's way of doing away with the heavy split rims?

Hi Hayseed

The old tyres needed heaps of weight too. Old weights clipped onto the edge of the rim. The new weights are stuck on the inside of the rim.

My biggest issue is the amount of pressure build up and why this happens? Will it be worse when I'm driving longer distances and in very hot conditions? Makes me feel very uneasy.

Hi Jon_d

Their website has a picture of exactly what I'm looking to do. Email sent and fingers crossed.

Thank you very much. You may have just made my year.
