Race trailer build?

I think you will find .. if you place the 15 or 16 inch rim next to the 17 inch rim. With the face with the stud pattern on the same side. You will find the face the same distance in from the edge of the rim. So the length from the inner side of the stud pattern face is that extra inch further than the 16 inch rim. And making contact with either the chassis, the suspension, or the inner mudguard.

My two cents worth of primary education ...

yea sounds plausible..

will have to wait and see when I get up there.

When I bought the hubs and stubs all that was mentioned was offset and stud pattern of rims.. so I didn't know any other variables would become such a problem. Can we not build around it somehow? or chop/machine/grind something.

have to wait to actually see whats going on when i get to chch anyway.

errr, maybe you should have gone to secondary, I have no idea what you mean There's no reason a 15/16/17 should generically have mounting difficulty (excepting brake caliper distance of course). This one sounds like the manufacturer just made the rim 'hub' section is just made a bit differently to what the hub manufacturer was expecting.

The sticky out bit is the hub center, I'm picking the rims just don't have a large enough diameter, or deep enough hole for it to fit in.

Hack and slash of rims is never the best solution.
Either lengthen the axles, or fit the narrower rims.

yip.. it looks like the center hole of the 17's I bought is too small to fit on the hubs I bought.. won't bother machining the rims out at this stage.. maybe someone will buy em on trademe for what I paid and then I can just buy new 17's again..

what a bastard.

but don't really care.. had a mint day today haha!

Take the wheels and hubs to Royce Clive engineering and say "fix this" shouldn't cost a lot and then you have the wheels you want, make sure your spare fits to
