I have another question,
I have a '11 31' Greyhawk. I'm looking to buy a spare tire and wheel. The tires are LT 225/75 R16. The duals are reversed. (inside and outside) is it a different rim for each?? How about the front?? Might be a dumb question....
Thanks
Dave

If it has steel wheels, all six are identical, so a matching spare will serve all. The fronts and inner duals are mounted one way and the outer duals are mounted the other way, but they are the same. If you happen to have aluminum wheels, the set is usually only four wheels. They'd be on the front and the outer duals, and the inner duals would be steel wheels. But same spare'd still work.
No problem there. Getting access to check tire pressure, perhaps. Search "valve stems", "tire valves" etc. and there's lots of discussion.

Are there issues mounting aluminum wheels next to steel wheels in the rear. For example the different ways the two types of metal handle heat, or electrolytic action messing up the wheels? I am new at this but have always liked custom (lighter) wheels on my cars.

On some RVs if you order the extra aluminum wheels you only get 4. The inside rear wheels will still be steel ones. Putting a steel wheel next to an aluminum one is no worse than mounting an aluminum wheel to a steel hub.
