16" 8 bolt Split Rims for 1.5 ton Australian Chevrolet Trucks

[Tony Smith]

I know you've already asked these questions repeatedly before, so I'm not sure what further information you are expecting..

The 30Cwt CMP , MCP and 1533X2 trucks are all standard Canadian designs and the 16" rim is the the common 16x6.0 design used by the WD/DND (ie Universal to Ford, Chev, Morris, Bedford), not just Australian trucks.

Indeed I have, but I have only obtained some of the information, so I hope that if I keep asking someone else might pick up the fact that the backspace on these wheels is still a mystery... Mind you, I have asked for the backspace and not the offset...

[Andrew H.]

What do you mean by "back space" and "off-set"? These are not terms I am familiar with.

Here is the definition explained

Does this photo help? These are the 16-inch split-rim wheels on our LRDG 1533X2 truck.

[Philippe Jeanneau]

It sure does... I imagine that the wider half of the wheel fits against the hub? and if you were to place a straight edge on that side and measure the distance to the center it would be about 4.00"? Are they original to your vehicle? if not, what do they fit originally?

Hi Philippe,

Using Lang's link definition on my Ford Kelsey 16" CMP wheels the setback is 4-1/4" (108 mm) as measured.

A bit of parallax in the photo but when I got down to the level to the wheel the measurement to the bottom of the angle iron from the mounting flange is 4-1/4"

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
