Default 20'' 10 stud wheels for scammell.

Wanted.
A set of 7 {or what you have} 20'' 10 stud wheels suitable for a late 1940s Scammell 20 MU/LA with twin wheels on the rear. To replace the 24'' 40x8s that are currently fitted.

Just a thought - Bedford MJ wheels are 20" 10 stud. What is the pcd of the studs?

Cheers Carl.

Make sure you check the offset too. Get it wrong and the tyres can touch the rear springs bolts on a rough road

Is the MJ on single wheels at the rear?. As if so the offset will be wrong for twin wheel operation. Would be good to know the pcd and centre hole diam though as KM wheels may fit.

MJ is on single rears - in fact the same wheels all around.
I have a few new MJ split rims that I could measure for you, if only for you to rule them out as a possible alternative.

Cheers Carl.

Following pictures should give you approximate dimensions of an MJ rim.
Studs are 7/8" diameter and on a 335 mm pcd.









Not sure how 20" rims would help as MJ tyres are hard to find and £400 each when they do get demobbed.

Cheers Carl.
