Special Wheels for Trailers n Caravans - Question

Postby Classic Finn » Sun Jan 24, 2010 8:22 am

Just came upon these wheels recently. These are somthing "New" for 2010 and specifically made for utility trailers and caravans. The nice thing is now that they fit directly onto the slim pickins of hubs we have available. Meaning the 4 x 100 and 5 x 112.

I tried these onto 5 x112 hubs I have, Of course I took it with and went over to the dealer to see it for myself before I believed it. :lol: But bingo. Nice fit. This is if you want a retro look on your tear.. 8)

Here they are. The CSP Trailer Wheel. They come in size 13 and 14 & 15 inch.

Those are sharp looking wheels! Gonna get some for yours or keep the chrome smoothies?

You'll find this funny but I wish I could easily get a 5x112 hub pattern here to match up with the wheels on my car.

I have a question since I dont really understand these tire and rim sizing subjects.

Both of these wheels have an ET of 30 so they fit the wheel hubs we have here nicely without any extra fixing or redrilling or..

Now my question is whats the widest tire I can use with these and which of Grants Kit fenders should I choose to fill them nicely.

These wheels are not more than 6 inches in width. )

9 inch kit fenders are his newest or the 11 inch. Which Id prefer. :oops: :oops: :oops:

Tires, narrow and hard = lower rolling resistance. Tires that came on our tear were designed for 90PSI and were fairly narrow Image
