REGARDS FATBOY Title: Re: New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials Post by: customFC on April 04, 2008, 10:56:24 PM Alex, are your rims 6 inch? Colin 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. Regards Alex Title: Re: New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials Post by: Papa Smurf on April 04, 2008, 11:28:18 PM 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. Title: Re: New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials Post by: RET on April 05, 2008, 12:33:56 AM That photo in the first post sure suggests the wheels have the regular three lugs, or am I missing something ???

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. RET Title: Re: New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials Post by: Papa Smurf on April 06, 2008, 03:09:07 PM A cap will fit but fly off
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. Title: Re: New HR rims & 13" whitewall radials Post by: earlyholdenfan on April 06, 2008, 09:03:37 PM 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?
