New Tvan build

[Smallfry]

Has anyone had any success matching Small bore wheels from a tow vehicle on Tvan.
I spoke with a bearing supplier in Caboolture but can't find the contact I had there
I was hoping to find a suitable stub to suit the small bore & still carry the Tvans 1.6t

Hi Rob
Pardon my ignorance..what's small bore wheels. Are you trying to match TVan to car rims  or Car to TVan  rims?
Did you order matching suspension on the TVan (to go with your car?)
Cheers

Yes Robyn, trying to match new Tvan wheels to old Pajero
Pajero centre bore is only 63mm, where the Tvan is 106mm.
I did speak to someone who could do it but not sure if it was 1.5t or higher

For what it's worth and just my 2c but I didn't try matching the Firetail wheels to our NX Paj. It makes the van too model specific and could effect resale down the track. I just went with their standard set up.

Bit confused about your comment regarding the wheel set up being too model specific. The standard set up will also be vehicle specific - I think the default is 6 stud 16" diameter rims - not sure of the offsets. Doesn't suit my Prado so have asked for matching rims and BFG K02s. Means we have two spares across the six on the ground across the Prado and Tvan.

The standard wheel bearings on Tvans are Parallel bearings, the inner and outer bearings are the same size. Therefore the small hole in the Pajero rim won't fit over the large Tvan hubs. Track can fit hubs to suit a Pajero, but the bearings are smaller
Hope this makes sense
