These guys are in Perth,WA and get their steel super singles custom made by a local wheel shop.

May be give us a call too.

We can probably give you a range of options as far as Canter rims go and also find a buyer for your old rims (if they are 4x4 rims, that is). Canters are our thing and we build custom vehicles for Eco-tourism (beach and outback), remote Aboriginal communities,etc and those guys are always after spares and with the ridiculous price of a genuine 4x4 rim they are still worth money second hand. We are on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland (Haven't seen much sun for a year but). Where are you?

Have a read of the recent SRW threads here and in the "general camper discussion and modification" forum.

Mullins wheels in S.A. make the best set of 19.5" rims for a canter, and tubeless!!!

[whatcharterboat]

For 19.5" ,we use these. Made here in Queensland so much less frieght if your in this part of the country. Still tubeless and very heavy duty. These are about 8.25" wide and normally get fitted with a set of Hankooks or Bridgestones (all terrain type tread pattern). So far for pure offroad work we've only used the 16"s. But the 19.5"s would be absolutely perfect for Cape York. Heard you just got back. Are your teeth still chatttering?

I have found some 16"x7" steel rims with 82mm offset, can anyone tell me if these will work? these are news rims off the shelve.

[engineer]

On the old model, we used to use the original rims with only the outside rear and the track was perfect, from memory, it changed with the 637 ( 4.2 lt model?) then we used flat centres and the track was perfect again. I'll measure it up tomorrow when i do a brake adjustment and post tomorrow evening.

Just received my rims from Stockton.
Specs I had been given, and ordered for a 91 4x4 canter were as follows... ( and I'll let you know how they fit when they are mounted) Was told that the rims should line up perfectly, and be able to use the spare front or rear....

STUD PATTERN 5 ON 207.86MM P.C.D.
BORE HOLE 152MM
STUD HOLE SIZE 32MM WITH 90 DEGREE CHAMFER TO SUIT WHEEL NUT.
183mm backspace.
