6 stud Stormers?? Wrong PCD for trailer :-(
Just purchaced my Oz off road trailer tent and i was wanting to put some stormer wheels on to match the discovery. I manufacture wheel adaptors so thought i would be able to make a set to suit. BUT the trailer axels are a 6 stud 140 pcd and stormers are a 5 stud 120 pcd does anyone know if you can get six stud stormers anywhere? That way i can make a set to suit but with 5 stud its impossible to go from a 6 to a 5 stud pattern..

Ahh is that what the wheels are from... I was wanting to put on some 20" stormers with ltz to match the discovery.. The axels are very heavy duty off road ones from oz not sure if i can be bothered to change them..
Wonder if landcruisers have a similar wheel to a stormer??

Thats what i manufacture in the workshop for companies but you cant make an adaptor to go from a
trailer 6 stud 140 pcd axel to a 5 stud 120 pcd stormer wheel its just not possible there will always be a stud in the way.

Got a Best trailer from Australia from a guy who imported it across in a container but he is now moving back to oz and didnt want to pay to send it back again. I put it up last night its a right nice piece of kit! Water tank, pumps, batteries, gas tank etc

Its impossible to change from 6 stud to 5 stud as no matter where you put a stud its always going to hit another.
The only way is if the PCD is very different either larger or smaller.
