Question about alloy rim

[hiro]

dear everyone,

i own 12/1995 F53 based Winnebago motorhome.
does anyone know what type of alloy wheels i can use for this motorhome ?

i would like to replace original rims with 19.5 inch side if possible as well.

thank you for your help.

As the old proverb goes, "Beware of what you ask for.".

There's a big difference between the ride quality of 16" & 19.5" tires. If your m/h's suspension was designed to sit on 16's, 19.5's could give you a very harsh ride.

A friend put 19.5's on his pickup, he hauls a large gooseneck trailer all the time. He said it rode so rough he couldn't stand it and switched back. A VERY expensive lesson!

Where can you find a used Ford 8 lug 22.5 rim as a spare ?
8 lug is the bear . (at a used price too)

T bone jr,
Do a search for RV salvage yard locations. There's a big one in MO. I got a price of $250 for 19.5" rim and used tire. Didn't get it but I just e-mailed the guy.

Good Luck and let us know what you find. We've been looking for a wheel for a spare since April. We've called over a dozen vendors including salvage yards, tire dealers, and Ford Dealers. So far the only place we've been able to find one is a Ford Truck Garage. The price for a new steel one is about $550.00. An alloy one was over $800.00. So far we haven't been able to find anything used.
