Just spotted these on old faithful, these what you mean kimbosound? Anyone know if they'd need milling out to fit over the hub??

Mine were 14 x 7 inch rims.....didn't have to mill out the centre to fit over the hub.....fit straight on. The landcruiser ones would have been 15 or 16 inch i reckon.

Hi guys and gals, can someone tell me what the standard stud pattern of a bedford is equivelent to ie HQ - XD etc?

Thanks

CF 14 to 25 cwt used 5 x 6" PCD stud pattern.
The only others I know to use this almost unique standard are some 1950's Wolseley sedan and Morris light commercial van.  The 'lineage' of the Bedford wheels starts in 1952 with the Vauxhall 'E' series and CA Bedford van's, which shared mechanicals.  The E model ran until 1957 and the CA to 1969 (as u may know...).
The above had tall narrow rim sizes, in keeping with the era.  The E Vauxhall has 15" and 16", the CA's had 16" then 13".  CF's could also be had with 13".

I've been a bit obsessive and got Morton and May Wheel Repairs (Warwick Farm, Sydney) to weld 15" E centres into late 1990s Commodore rims.  Very nice job, I would recommend them.
regs,
Andrew.
