LP wheels for TDI machines with Melo axles

Fitting - 6 stud, 205mm PCD, 161mm centre hole, 22mm bolt holes (countersunk).

The standard wheel track is 72" and the axle mounting face to mounting face width is 72".

To enable the 22.5" low pressure wheel to clear the brakes and steering arm on the Melo axle, wheels with offset wells must be used with the well offset to the outside of the wheel. The diameter at a point 110mm from the inside of the centre plate must be a minimum of 508mm.

With many wheel rims it will mean the valve hole will have to be re-drilled at the opposite side of the rim The original hole must be welded up and ground off flat.
