transit hubs

[Luke]

pajero pcd is 6 x 139

good man saves me looking
but without measuring i'd say standard tranny 5 stud hubs would re drill to 6 x 139
any idea of the centre bore dia 100ps?

sorry no but i will get my mate to measure his wheels as he has a spare set in the garage

so long as its more than 63mm then it will go over the transit boss- if its less then there will be a problem

has anyone actually redrilled the hubs? want to know if there have been any problems afterwards before I dive into it. Re drilling would certainly be the cheapest, and easiest, way of fitting the wheels i want. Spent today in the workshop making my windscreen wiper cover fit properly. The van will eventually look nothing like a tranny! This set of wheels will be the finishing touch! Thank you all for your thoughts and advice

I have, when my hubs were redrilled for Ford econoline alloys. only thing I had to do was machine up a spacer leval with the bolt heads on the front of the flange.

I'm doing to fit my jag/chevy pcd wheels

machine up a spacer leval with the bolt heads on the front of the flange

instead of doing that you could counter bore the holes and fit M10 capheads - thats what ive done!! but if you are fitting arches that might be a way of spacing the wheels out further!!

Its only a 5mm spacer, was done so the alloy has a flat surface to sit on, and not just the bolt heads.

Yep i done it and it works great

This mod also allowed me to fit vented discs and 4 piston calipers
