Bedford wheel/rim sizes
AS you seem to be pretty well up on these Bedfords, thought I may as well ask you directly as nobody seems to be answering my "cry for help"
As you know by the forum, have been chasing 6X16" rims for the Karrier project, and more than a few people seem to think that the smaller J series Bedford wheels may be getting very close to the same size. What I haven't been able to find out, and have even contacted a couple of wreckers, is the bore centre of the rim as well as the actual offset of the wheel, measured in inches. Wondered if you may have a workshop manual that may have them listed?
Or anyone for that matter.
I can follow a link if its printed out, not so good with Mr Google, we do NOT get along!
Have applied to a forum in the UK, but as yet, no reply.
I'll put these dimensions up here again if it's any help,
PCD=8+1/8" (8.125") 206.3mm * Ind std seems to be 205mm, maybe why I had to machine mine.
Stud hole diam=29/32" (0.906")** This is the mongrel stud hole size, seems to be halfway between 15/16" and 7/8"
Stud diam =45/64" (0.703) *** Another mongrel size and best I can make out its 17.8mm which I would have said would have been 18mm stud, but also has a bodgey 2.00mm thread pitch. NOT BSF, not pommy or yank!
So depending from where you measure the offset from, its either 1.102" or 28mm if measuring from inside the rim, its 6+9/16" (167mm).
After all that, still need the CENTREBORE diameter! (mine 6+1/2" (165mm) as well as the wheel/rim offsets.
Must be somebody out there who has a workshop manual that gives the wheel dimensions? Or even post a link to where I can find them? Maybe even got an old rim laying against a shed wall you may be able to measure?
Tried a few of those links on Google, most refer to car wheel dimensions.
As stated, rang a couple of Beddy wreckers, either couldn't or didn't want to help.
Thanks, Dave_64

And this is the Commer Superpoise wheel. Looks like Bedford J1 to me.
Here is the Bedford J1. I would put money on it fitting the Commer.

So far as the J Series rims are concerned, sorry I can't assist you Dave as I don't have any here to measure. I can't understand why some of the owners of them on this forum aren't answering your query, perhaps this might help . . .

However Dave could always contact the bloke and ask him to measure it. Coincidentally I have asked a guy in WA to measure his wheel for you, which he says he will do this weekend.

This can give you the offset for a dual wheel or a single and the same way of measuring is done for cars and forklifts etc. I will appologise now if my memory has failed me but this rings true to me.
