have a look on the club site but check your year and PCD first as we had trouble with ours

Shouldn't be 16". Even the 1950's ones were on 15". My 1967 Cheltenham brochure gives the Sable (and all the others) as 13".

Early sables had the same stud patten as Bedford CF'S but never had enough offset on a CF rim to miss inner wheel arch, or the trailing arm , know of a couple of sable owners that have a early CF of later CA rim's 13"
used with wheel spacers as a get you out of the s*@t emergency spare.
if anyone can tell me if there the same as buccaneer caravan 5 stud patten may have a pair of rims coming up soon as the farm that I store at is scrapping the Buccaneer chicken shed shortly.

if you can find a rim with the correct pcd have the middle removed & fitted to a rim of the correct width. a good fab shop should have no prob doing this.
