This vehicle has 6.5 inch hub bore

6 lugs on a 8.75 inch bolt circle, stud piloted..studs M19 1.5mm pitch

Currently 16inch but want 17inch or higher..
Wheel stamped with number 12089

Wheels should bear medium truck or at least light truck LT tires with Load F rating..
2700-3240 lbs

Dually setup hence need 7 wheels..

Please let me know if you need further details..

Clue #16 tada!
Hint: hmm.. German dually truck ??!..

Here is a link to how they recenter the MRAP wheels to work with the 2.5 ton axles/trucks:

Mercedes 408?

Getting closer with the 408..But not there yet!

Thanks for the link though..

This might be a option..but I do not see how offset could be made for dually wheels
as these fabbed by Hundy are inset and not offset

I have currently 16x6 as you know...
17 or 18 as diameter for wheel is popular..for LT light trucks

not sure if I could find regular tires for the 20x10 everywhere easily..

I plan to use this vehicle as a 99% on the road.. touring vehicle..

will check with Hundy..with 760 area code seems somewhere
around Carlsbad..Oceanside Escondido area..

Andre ? Can you help with wheels?

If it was .. this is what it would look like...but naah! mine is different..

408 / 508 or even 608 looks cool though..

It is Saturday morning .. I have a right & duty to be on this forum..time for another clue..

Clue #15 Vehicle is European..so this is how the speedometer looks..sorry should spit cleaned the glass..
Shall post pictures of it when taken in dark at nights absolutely stunning & ghostly..

Veglia Borletti made some of the most beautiful gauges..as a casual search would show.. mainly for Italian cars & trucks..wink wink

Disclaimer : the gear box [it is a ZF] was used by Rolls Royce & Maserati [ too complex to be considered a hint..]

Must be an Magirus-Duetz post merger into Iveco?

Probably more like this...


I really like the big windshield and extra small windows above the doors on these vans - they are also like that on the later Mercedes Vario vans...

Quite close ...actually difficult to guess model anyway..

But you are so correct...

Magirus Duetz..

Will update with pictures later tonight..

The triple wipers gave it away - saw a posting on this truck tonight and it reminded me of Iveco's other smaller trucks.

Does yours have a Duetz aircooled diesel in it?

I would have some custom wheels made to allow running it with single rear wheels (like shown on the Vario) - the Mitsubishi Fuso guys do it all the time for expo rigs where you don't carry the full rated loads.

yes..Air cooled. The venerated

KHD's F4L 913

That's acebee coming down my driveway, darn I have to get that repaved.

Puts the 712 in perspective Eh !

Found them wheels.. of a Italian iveco truck with same bolt pattern in French Canada.

Rims are FAB-France..seems made by Michelin..and no rust..

Thankfully no more split wheels..
