Hi guys
I did see a link to a web site with Mac trailer rims, but cant seem to find it now. your help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks Darren

I've seen trailer tires exactly like our Mac's mounted on rims that look identical at Wal-Mart.
Sorry, don't know the price, and I am not sure if you can just get the rims, but worth a check.
I am sure someone else will have a better answer shortly.

Mine are pretty badly rusted, so I was thinking about replacing as well.

Ive found buying the mounted tires online is the same price as buying the tires (without rims) locally....go figure.

Any trailer store/ builder / seller will have the rims ands tires.

I got the ones I used when I did the dual axle mod for $14. ea for the tire and rim. Mounted.

I would think that shipping wheels and tires Down Under would be quite expensive. The wheels are nothing special, they are just a Ford 5 lug 4 1/2" bolt pattern and if IIRC they are 14" x 5 1/2". I would think that you could probably find something similar over there. If not, I purchased a couple from these guys a few years ago. Don't know if they export, but....

If you are buying new tires and wheels, I'd check and see if you could use 15" wheel/tire combination to increase the load carrying capacity or at least go with the 225 tire. Again it will add a little bit of extra carrying capacity, not a large amount, but with a Mac trailer, every little bit helps.

Good luck,
Pat

Some one suggested to me that they were Nissan Navara wheels!

We have an . Had a new tire(225-D rating) ordered and mounted on the proper wheel from our local tire shop. our cost was $75.00 US.

Both tires give a 5500lb carrying load. stew

Hi Guys
Finally got a new rim for the 06 steel MacGregor trailer. Its straight of a Big hub Ford 1 tonne Utility.
Made in Australia the quality is much better than the original equipment. $89
Cheers Darren.

Darren,

I need to buy new tyres however, the best load index available in Aus currently for a 225/75 15" is 112. Not enough. Am looking for a 116 with 10 ply walls. http://www.bobjane.com.au/load-speed-ratings.html

The OEM's are approx 113 Load Index. Had a blow out on these.

In the mean time I'd like to purchase a 2nd hand Ford rim & std tyre of 15" x 6" in the 114.3 stud pattern. (to get us out of trouble)

I am not sure of the offset though. Any idea of the offset from your experience. Where to buy such a rim from also ?

Kind Rgds

Thread warning - tire and rim sizes are not internationally standard, so be careful with designations of sizes that cross borders...

I bought new tires mounted on rims from Trailer Parts Superstore / Eastern Marine. They also sell the rim only. Price was not bad:

Hi Dave
My rim was purchased from Swan Tyres in Perth its a 15X7 Mullins Description on invoice is 5x114.3 et10p $81.82 +gst = 90bucks..
It appears to have a 10mm positive off set, the bolt face is 10mm closer to the front face of the wheel than the rear face. I hope this helps
Cheers Darrren.
