Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? I believe the m416 is a 5 on 5.5 wheel. I want to purchase adapters that allow me to use the 5 on 6.5 wheels on my Land Rover Series.
Is it as simple as finding 5x5.5 to 5x6.5 adapters? And if so, where can I find one? I've googled (maybe not very well) and am coming up empty.
Thanks in advance!
We have ours made by Motorsport Technology
www.motorsports-tech.com. They are not inexpensive due to the backspacing of the rims. For Land Rovers we have them made 3" thick, and we supply the Land Rover studs.
When buying adapters they need be at least as thick as the studs on the hubs on the trailer. If not you will end up having the cut the studs down to prevent them from protruding beyond the adapter. For us that's a minimum thickness of 1.5".
Your other considerations are taking into account the combined rim and tire backspacing, allowing for inward axle movement with leaf springs. We like at least 1" clearance on our trailing arm system to allow for airing down, yes the tire bulges on the top as well.
Land Rover rims are lug centric so that makes it simpler. E-mail me with specific questions.
