Drilling hubs question ?
A friend has asked me to build him a custom 8 x 5 box trailer, single axle with Landcruiser hubs and electric brakes.
He wants to use the same wheels as the tow vehicle - Mitsubishi Triton 4x4 with 7x15 Sunraysias.
Question is, is it as simple as pressing out the studs and drilling hub and drum to the new pattern? (on a H & F mill/drill).
Anything else to watch for?

Are tritons 6 stud, have you tried the wheels? most utes are 6 stud and most are the same PCD... triton wheels could possibly fit the cruiser hubs.
I think the 16x8 Sunraiser's on my bravo are the same part number as a cruiser in the Speedywheels catalog.....................................................................

I don't remember where, but I'm sure I saw somewhere that they aren't a direct fit.

They are the same.
6 stud L/Cruiser is the same as erery other manufacturer's 6 stud pattern. From the 100 series, Toyota changed to a 5 stud LandCruiser, and late model Mitsubishis have a smaller hub snout that wont allow you put late model wheels on early model vehicles, but if he's running Sunraysia wheels all round, then it's not a problem.Too many projects, so little time, even less money!

PCD is the same but what about the bore. Will the rims fit the cruiser hubs? Cruiser are 107mm, Triton 105mm as far as I am aware.

Thanks guys.
I'll be picking up the hubs after I get the frame organised, looks like the cruiser wheels would be a close enough match that no-one will notice any difference.
