Wheel Rims - Center Hole Important?
One example: Holden Commodore. All have 5x120 wheel studs. However,
the later models are heavier, so new wheels are stronger. Holden made the centre bore smaller to stop people fitting older wheels, that might not be rated for the load. |

Wheel Rims - Center Hole Important?
I'm putting used 6-hole universal rims and new tires on my livestock trailer to haul a horse and other heavy items to Oklahoma from Nebraska next week. The center holes on the rims are much larger than stock and it was a concern. I thank you all for your input here as I'm going to go ahead with installing them as such. I've been a farmer all my life and never questioned this function before, but I guess as we get older we get more concerned for things like this.
If you see a gray trailer and a white Dodge pickup stalled along the load somewhere in Kansas, then it didn't work. LOL |
