yeah, have been looking at the spinny wheels site , they have lots of trailer goodies :)
axles from $60 and hubs about $35 :)

if i want to interchange all the wheels for use as spares i guess i have to stay with the +38 offset
i think i saw a set of triton wheels being given away on gumtree the other day, will just have to make sure they match my ones

One thing to check is the width of the trailer axle as Triton +38 mm offset could make them scrape on the inside, you may need the zero offset rims or a longer trailer axle, worth checking first

The triton will take different offsets, depending on width of tyre and so on. From memory I think I'm running +28 or +30 and you wouldn't even know they're different. Some guys are running zero offset if I recall correctly but at that point tyres are outside flares etc although most of them have wider than 245 on which would exacerbate that. Not sure if that helps or not. If in doubt post some questions in that offset bible thread and our leading tyre whore will be along with an answer.

The trailer hub diameter will be the issue.

Will the centre be to big for the inside of the Triton rim ?
Looked at my camper trailer with the ford pattern and they would be very close to not fitting the standard Triton rim.

Good point Killa, perhaps only aftermarket rims would fit with a larger centre....

looking at the spinnythings site it looks like all their hubs fit all their axles. I know i currently have an old holden or ford axle with matching hubs/rims, worst case scenario is that i replace the axle and get new landcruiser hubs to fit it

Yep. He had to file the centre cap back to get it to fit
