British wheels wanted was created by Lang
I need two British 8 stud X 16inch wheels for an Australian Army Corio trailer (converting from 20inch.) Need to be normal civilian off-set type - for duals - not Blitz central disc

Prefer SE Qld but will look at anything.

Bedford J3, or Morris Commercial LC5 is the only thing that comes to mind from older stuff. Later would be Leyland Terrier.

Thanks Steve

Not fussy about design so long as the bolt pattern matches. I have it on Blitz 16inch at the moment but they stick out too far. The original 8.25x20inch were standard off-set truck rims and brought the track in by about 6-8 inches.

Terrier are 6 stud ... bloke's lookin for 8s

Be it firearms or V8 engines, the question is not "why should you have them?"
, but "who are you to demand that I justify them?"

Morris Commercial are five stud but that can be altered, as I am having done on some other wheels at the moment.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

I have some from an Austin K2 Ambulance here you are welcome to come and measure and work out if they are any good to you?

From memory are 16 inch, 8 stud had 8.25 16 inch singles on it.

Oldcarhauler,
You will have heaps of trouble finding a patch to fix that tyre! :D :D :D

Thanks mate.

Unfortunately these are standard British military wheels - same as blitz. I have a set of those on temporarily at the moment but being centreline pattern they stick out too far.

I need the off-set dual wheel type to get the tyres back in under the guards.
