Wheel Pattern on an M101 (7 Viewers)

[wngrog]

Is it a 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 5.5??

How tall are the stock tires?

 

[BajaXplorer]

Not either 5x4.5 or 5x5.5.
The bolt pattern is 5x112mm, converts to 5x4.41"
It is definitely an odd size

Edit: The tires are about 29" in diameter I believe. Can check when I get home.

Nolan,

Here is the poop.

VW Vanagon pattern
and the tires are 28 1/2" tall

Is it a 5 on 4.5 or 5 on 5.5??

How tall are the stock tires?

So is the best thing to do I would guess is to change out the hubs for a normal rim if I want to have matching tires?

Edit, hell, a new complete axle would probably work well too.....

This is the route I took, as have several others on the M101 forum.
Have heard there are cheaper sources, but none found.
Dexter costs more.

Five minute job to swap the drums for ones matching the Cruiser pattern.

Switch out to a toyota axle of your liking and have handy spare parts like inner and outers, etc... built into your trailer.

This is the route I took too

Heres a couple of pixs
One with just a spring over next to a stock trailer and the other is sprungover with a set of 315s on it

Glad you asked the question Nolen. It was on my list of stuff to do once I get this thing home.

 

[wngrog]

Panzer, I bought the stuff for the 6 on 5.5 transfer and now I am leaning toward having some 5 x 112 to 5 on 150 adapters made so I can run my 100 wheels. If so, you can have my 6 on 5.5 stuff for cheap.

 

[Panzer]

did you go with the hubs with drums so the brake still works or bare hub??
either way I am interested. I can always go back with brakes later.
Hit me on my home email.
BTW, what light kit did you go with. I saw your comments on the mountings lineing up so no sense reinventing the problem.

 

[wngrog]

I got the complete brake kit. I only have $68 in it, shipped. $50 to you if the spacers work out.

Also the lights were then "narrow" trailer Wal Mart complete light kit.

 

[Panzer]

Thanks, Ill check out wally worlds light sets.
Let me know when you sort out the spacer issue and we can sort out shipping or whatever and Ill paypal you.

Did you end up going with the wheel adapters? I'd like to do exactly the same for my Tundra (5x112 to 5x150) and could use a recommendation. No one lists this combo in their offerings...
