I recently sold one of my spare wide five wheels to a guy who has a Volkswagen stud pattern motorbike trailer, he got back to me a few weeks alter and said that the wheel doesn't fit.
I thought that there was only one wide five stud pattern? Can anyone confirm this? Or is it possible that it's something else very similar? Porsche?
I don't have any measurements of the stub patterns but I'll try and get them over the next week.
If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

Hi

Early Anglias used a very similar stud pattern to a 5 stud bug, the early Porsche pattern is the same as a 5 stud bug.

The guy may have FJ wheels on his trailer, they look similar but are a bit smaller in the PCD.

Thanks, I'll have to check what the measurements are. It's just that they look like VW wheels because they've got the clips for the hubcaps.
Or is this something that's similar on the Anglia and FJs too?

Most likely FJ wheels,it was unusual to use VW wheels because of the ease & availability of the holden stub axles .The early anglia wheels were 16" and bolted onto VW hubs,we used them on the front of our mudscramblers years ago.
