Yostumpy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi can anyone tell me if the forward control rims are load rated for the 110, (not the 127/130 rims) do they suffer any problems such as cracking, and how strong they are ie wolf strong or std strong??????????

western Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 IIRC the S2b 110 forward control had a heavier gross weight than any current 110 or 130, so I'd say the wheels were ok for a 110 as we know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 everyone with 6.5 rims are now calling them fc 2b rims. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 even craddocks , who really should know better. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2B...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 there are some pics of both here , 2b fc rims and 127/130 rims. quite similar but not the same thing , and with fc 2b rims being very rare its not very nice to palm 127/130 rims off to someone as 2b rims. http://www.landrovernet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86173 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 how can you tell the diffrence between the fc and 127/130 rims then?????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 have a look at the thread i posted , the fc 2b rims have around 1'' or so more off set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 oops sorry nobber, I must be blind as a mole!!!! thanks good thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 no worries , ive been after some series 2b fc rims now for ages but its looking like 127 rims will have to do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Nobber the ones on e-bay you showed, with the tyres on, look like theyve got a 3" flat bit, so they COULD be fc2b ones, were these the ones you wanted? did you get some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 you need to look at the rims centre , where it bolts to the hub. 2b rims are flatter here than 127 rims , the rims on e bay look pretty much like the latter. i dont think it really matters too much which ones i get , they both are 6.5 and they both look quite beefy , its just that the 2b ones are better in the fact they are somewhat special in their rarity. thers another interesting thread about them here. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopi...5&hl=nobber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yostumpy Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 everyone with 6.5 rims are now calling them fc 2b rims.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 even craddocks , who really should know better. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2B...1QQcmdZViewItem Nobber those rims on e-bay with the tyres on ARE fc 2B ones, cos I bought em, flat part of the rim measures about 3 1/4", they look HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUge, and riveted at the back of the rim centre. Tyres are like new, but a bit noised compared to avons, might swap tyres over!!! rims could do witha sand down and re paint but as the ad says they look the muts nuts. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 its easy to check , this is a 2b rim , note the flat centre almost parallel with the back edge of the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobber Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 this is a 127 rim , note the same rim except the flat part is now bulged out. still 6.5 and still a beefy rim though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Cooper Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Here's some pix. The pass-offs are the green and silver rims shown. 569203 is what you're all after, my 109 has tehm on as per pix. Careful, everyone says tehirs are one ton or 2B rims. Often they're not. I put thsi up on other post... To confuse you, One of my 569203 rims is marked 569204 but is identical to the other 4. One is marked 569204 but has been stamped out with a line of XXXXX's over the no. error, and then stamp[ed 569203. Rest are stamped 569203!!! But thsi I reckon was a Friday afternoon set. Any part number, starting, ANR is the 130 part number. 569204 was fitted to one ton. I think 569204 has more offset than the 130 rim. Careful out there!

Martin Cooper Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Hell of athread revival, I apologise. Including my own post, much of the above info is confused or plain wrong. This subject and the confusion around it gets duplicated. Where this subject crops-up, I've put this same link up in other parts of this forum. This gives the complete picture: http://www.900club.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1403&sid=c74b4cfc832586f97986bad611b4de3d Edited June 9, 2017 by Martin Cooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 An interesting read Martin, especially for those looking for ''forward control'' rims. Cheers Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
