Hey Colin
I believe so, though not 100% sure.
I had the same size tyre on a standard HR rim before this with no problem.

Just check they will take a hubcap - if you want to use one of course - most of the new rims available are made for trailers & dont have the indent on the 4 hubcap "retainer lugs" so the rim of the hubcap can slip into & stay on, a cap will fit but will fly off.
If you compare with an original rim you will see what I mean.
That photo in the first post sure suggests the wheels have the regular three lugs, or am I missing something ???
cheers
RET
ok 3 then - typo
Lizard,
I wasn't querying the number of lugs particularly, but whether they hold a hubcap or not. They look like they should, but I'm interested to know if they don't. They're definitely less useful if that's the case.

Perhaps better explained as a high spot so the cap is forced over when thumped on, that's assuming they are the same as the ones I looked at & they appear to be.
From personal experience, the rims manufactured by ROH as a trailer replacement come in two sizes, the standard size ones (4.5) inch do not hold a hubcap, the wheel centre does not have enough of a "Lip" on the three lugs, they are kinda flat on the outer edge, the cap will sit on but the slightest disturbance and they fall off.
the 6 inch wide rims have an indent the cap fits into and therefore will hold the cap perfectly, I bought a set of 4.5's a while back, and were of no use to me, ended up selling them to someone wanting to run no caps.
These are mentioned as the 6 inch rims so probably will not be an issue, and they may not even be the ROH brand ones?

Hi guys.
Anyone know where I can get these in Victoria?
