what is type is your UD is it a 1200 or a 1400

what size tires......... how many lugs.......... and how many hand holes

Mine is the 1200
16" tires
5 lugs
and 5 hand holes

I am looking for simulators and it appears that my rims are different from most

most have 6 hand holes........

Jim as you know I am in the process of getting a new AT. I have always heard that if you have 5 lugs you can't get wheel simulators. Now if I had your truck I would definitely not give up until I had tried every supplier of wheel simulators.

Good Luck

the 5 lug
5 hand holes are not that uncommon to find

BUT they are on a UD 5 lug ..5 hand holes is more a Mitsubishi trucks
and you can get simulators all day long

I have a guy checking and will be getting back to me before the day is out he is pretty sure by taking the stamped #'s off my rims they will match up.........

I am thinking that the 1200 are like the Mitsubishi trucks and the 1400 wheels are for the extra load it can carry so they step up to the 6 lug 6 hand holes....

 

[Billy]

Thats what I meant to say I just based that on you having the UD not the Mitsubishi.

 

[Jim Martin]

It is the 5 hole and the lug size that throws it
The lugs are 35 mm and a 17mm sq....... and the rims are 5 hole
the Mitsubishi trucks have a different lug size

I just got off the phone with the guy and ordered them $239.00 shipped to my door...........not to bad...

seems the UD 1200 is not as popular as most so I guess I bought the redheaded bastard step child (big surprise)

The guy said that he has been in this business a long time and has never ran across this combination..................

Good job Jim searching for those. Its funny that Vortex and AT charge $399 or more for wheel simulators as an option, and you just found them shipped to your door for $100 less........sometimes things don't make sense.

 

[Jim Martin]

the standard size that most trucks are running are even cheaper.......
Mine are a little more because of the off size

 

[Billy]

where did you get them at?

 

[Guest]

Jim,

I was told you can't get them for the 1200's. I have a 1400 and it has 6 lugs.

wheel simulators 1-800-215-8007
very nice helpful person...........did what he said he would do.you don't find that to often


The ones that you linked to below are different they are for 16x6 wheels
not just straight 16"

Dave your 1400 with the 6 lug 6hand hole are popular
Like I said above if you look around they are even cheaper than mine I found some for $195.00 .

same guy same phone number as above
