I don’t suppose any of you bowler people could do me a big favour and measure the size of the centre bore hole of a wheel if you have one as a spare on the back. I did ask bowler yesterday and they came back with 112mm but they didn’t seem sure. Trying to determine if they’ll fit over the hub on my penman trailer which wolfs fit on with their 115mm centre bore hole. Not that I’m buying some specifically for the penman but I have a couple of spare wolfs and with the penman wolfs I can have a set of muddies to swap on the truck and a set of bowlers (potentially) with the more road going tyres that I have on my sawtooth wheels.

On the TUV certificate that I requested from bowler when I got mine, it is specified CB 113mm.
I have not measured it myself though.

Grenadier - I do like your 110, in my favourite colour and in my favourite place (CHX). I think I know where that photo was taken - just opposite Les Houches?

Did anyone have an exact size for the Bowler centre bore? - I am tempted to get some caps made up for mine which will then have a rubber gasket in a channel around the bore so that they fit in nice and snug to the wheel - I don't like the open look on mine as i have spacers and drive flanges up front, solid half shafts on the rear so caps will make it look all the same. Defender 130 HCPU TD5

Apart from my 16" Bowler wheels in Aus. I have seen only one other Defender in Melbourne Australia with Bowler wheels. I am guessing it was a UK migration car, they were 18". No one puts 18" alloys on OG Defender's down under. Not sure why?
