Thanks to Scott at www.trailertiresandwheels.com

My 15" tire issues are put to rest.

These arrived today! They go on the rig this weekend. (going to put my springs back on the bottom of the axel's too)

These 16's came with mounted and balanced Goodyear Wrangler HT E tires!!

Those of you that haven't talked with Scott before, I encourage it if you have tire question. He really knows his stuff!!!



Closer up



I will post more photos the axle "reflip" and photos of the tires on the rig this weekend.

Awesome looking wheel/tire combo! Glad you were able to go to 16 inch rims...was not a viable option for me! I ended up with Sendel 15 inch wheels and Denman E rated tires. So far...so good!



Happy Camping!

Before you give someone a piece of your mind, be sure you can do with what you will have left.

I don't mean to be rude, but could you give a ball-park price of these? Look nice.

Looks like nice set up. I really like those rims.

How many did you get?
I only see 4...
What about a spare?

Hello Oltroll...I paid a VERY fair price for what I got. Scott offers great information, great service and good prices.

If you are considering going to 16's or looking at nicer wheels etc, I think you should call Scott up and discuss with him. You'll quickly see why he is respected around the RV world.

Best Regards

RR

Sure wish I could use that size, they are just too large in diameter and would only leave me about 1 1/2" - 2" between tires. I will have to go to 225/75R16 which are rated at 2680 @ 80 PSI and are 29.4" in diameter.

I "should" be around 3.4 apart that is if my math is correct.

Center to center my axles are 35 inches apart. Right now I have 7" to work with.
