[-Pete-]

I've a 15" one from a Mk6 Fiesta, good tyre. £10 if interested. Shouldn't be hard to get a match from a scrap yard. I'd actually bought a set of 4 for my trailer so this is one left over.

Iv a full set of 206 wheels good tyres and hubcaps £35 for the set?

thanks, It wouldn't match the rest unfortunately as the others are 13" and unless you were running a low profile on it, it would be outside the size needed.

Those 206 wheels might be worth considering? whats the size on them and tyre profiles @southsky sunrise ?

 

[southsky sunrise]

14” bud think 185/195 but have to check. Two Pirelli and two goodyear from memory

 

[southsky sunrise]

185x65x14

ill try and get a look at the trailer this weekend. I dont keep it at my house so i need to get a run out to look at the wheels again. near sure it has 185 60 13 or something like that. where abouts are you anyway? im in bangor myself .

 

[southsky sunrise]

No worries. They’re at the yard in the Ormeau road in Belfast bud

 

[-Pete-]

right i had a look and its on 165 70 13's . i think they would be okay in diameter but dont know if they'd be too wide.

 

[southsky sunrise]

Welcome to grab them and try mate

@southsky sunrise I'm having a crack at giving this trailer of mine some tlc over this break and got another look at these wheels. id say 14" would go on nor problem as there's plenty of clearance between the wheels and arches. tyre size is different across all 4 so no wonder I wasn't sure what they were!

Ill add some pictures to this post so you can see what size they are and the bolt spacing. Unless im being a total spanner, that is a 4x115mm ??spacing???

 

[southsky sunrise]

Mine are gone now bud

no worries, dont think they would have fitted anyway by the looks of these buggers. Based on those pictures, and the bolt pcd which looks like a 4x114.3 do you think you have any knocking around?

 

[southsky sunrise]

Might have a couple of tyres il check.

no huge rush given the current climate but that would be great.

Thats Jap fitment to best of my knowledge, Suzuki Swift, Mitsi 4 stud and Volvo S/V40 wheels. Bound to be others too

 

[Darren91]

2x 4x108 Citroen steels with 195/55/16 tyres free to collect in Ballymoney

@NI_Volvo_Nut you not got a set of old volvo steels knocking around then? Yeh im keeping an eye out but nothing handy yet. dont want to be driving anywhere more than a couple of miles right now just for some wheels.

cheers @Darren91 but they would need to be 4 x114.3 it seems. thanks for the offer

S/V40's weren't real Volvo, hense I only ever had 1 about me lol. What I do know is S40 wheels also fit an MGB, so I would guess your axle is old MG / Austin so possibly Morris Marina / Minor / Ital would fit? I had a trailer a while back was a Morris Minor rear axle, never measured the stud as I knew what I needed and picked up a set of MG Metro Turbo wheels. Our resident Metro expert may know more? @Coog

No the Austin metro was 4x4in or 4x101.something mm.

4x114.3, which is what that wheel appears to be is on a lot of jap stuff from the 90's. I remember sticking a set with that stud pattern on a '02 Galant.

They guy with the MGB did say right enough he used spacers, he must have used stud adapting spacers maybe

I think MGB is different again lol

total hassle all this just to get some wheels. I dont even want to consider going down the road of cutting off the hubs and welding on some new 4x100s or something equally common but that option is getting closer at this rate. at least I could get those from a scrappy easier or just brand new.

the plan was to avoid spending any serious money beyond a new set of decent wheels. I was considering selling it and moving to a single axle 8x4 but it would need wheels first really.

£50 here
Shouldn't be hard to come across a set of S40 alloys. Could you post a pic of the wheels already on the trailer? Might help identify what they are off.

 

[-Pete-]

thats a picture of them above there. not much else to them, just plain old steel wheels. the centre bore doesnt fit exactly on the current set either.

i already put brand new chequer plate into the base and front and welded in extra supports and expanded sheet in the tail gate which would take quads or other heavy stuff, easily.

wheels/hubs would be the final upgrade before just keeping it long term.
