13" Split Rim Needed
 
I am in need of a 13" rim for the spare tire for my F8. I'm more than willing to pay the cost of shipping it from Canada. Please advise if you have one that's in working condition. By working condition, I mean that the lug nuts will come off without snapping! :ergh:

Thanks!
Jim

When I took the four wheels off my C8 apart I just used the 3/4" impact wrench and undid them all with no problems. Must be something to do with our clean prairie air! The 13" wheels aren't that common and I'm still looking for a spare too.

Have a spare tire now; need a 13" rim to go with it!
 
The last time I posted this request nothing came of it. But, being a persistent bloke, am trying again! Anybody out there in North America that has a extra 13" split rim that will fit my F8 please contact me.

Thanks!

I was in the same situation until the other day when I stumbled across a 13" rim in a farm scrap iron pile. If I stumble across another I'll let you know.

David,
Try not to hurt yourself! Let me know if you do stumble across another!

Best regards,
Jim

Jim, they're out there somewhere, it's just a matter of time! Could one of you post a nice clear pic of the rim so our membership know exactly what to look for in terms of bolt/stud pattern etc? :)

Geoff, it's a rim 13"dia at the bead, by 6" wide. It has a flat dics centre with 6 lug nuts. The rim is divided in two halves secured with 12 studs and nuts, the studs being welded to the outer half and facing inward, and the 12 nuts are on the inner hub side:
