Hub swap on a M series trailer

[xcmountain80]

Alright while trailers aren't new to me the vintage ones could be a little different. Say I had a M series trailer and it had Land Rover 5 lug and I anted to swap for 6 on 5.5, how easy is this to accomplish or would I be better off running hub adapters. I will be running 285 or 295 tires on the trailer so some wheel spacers will most likely be necessary.

I would be interested in the rover hubs if you do remove them.

Not a problem I'll ear mark them as yours unless I Hear different.

Well now you ruined it. When deals come up I don't tell a soul. Yep thats what I'm looking at and anticipate purchasing. As long as no one else pick it up first.

x2. Trailer axles are silly cheap, and you can have them made to fit.

That is cool. I looked at the rims and it looked so much like a Rover pattern (but slightly smaller holes for the lug nuts). I figured as much.. This is what was on my '67 M416....

getting to rich for my blood, the closer it gets to $1k the closer I am to pulling the trigger on financing a AT.
