Tire / wheel size will depend on which chassis you have, it will be a Workhorse chassis, not Chevy (Chevy sold its motorhome chassis division to Workhorse in 1999). It may be a P-32 chassis or possibly a W series, W-16, W-18, etc. I have a 2002 P32 chassis Safari Trek, and bought a used wheel for spare tire purposes from a local junk yard, paid $50 for it a few months ago. I had priced them from Colaw's RV salvage in MO, their price was $75 plus shipping (wheels are heavy, I would guess around 75 pounds) I think the P-32 wheel is 19.5x9.00 10 lug, but with a different (larger) hub size than the Ford F53 uses, and I think the smaller W series uses a 19.5 x 9.5 inch wheel, but I am not sure about that.

spare wheel for Workhorse chassis

Thanks!
So how do I determine if my 2004 Forest River Sunseeker is on a Workhorse P32, W20, W22, or W24 chassis, and then what wheel to look for?
Forest River service guy was pretty helpful, but said to inquire at GM dealer.
But if GM sold to Workhorse in 2002, would my Chevy dealer have info on wheel size?
I suppose I can take a wheel to Chevy parts place and ask for duplicate...?
Then, once I know wheel size, what's a good source for used and/or aftermarket?

Workhorse or Chevy Chassis

So my vin number search: 1GBJG31U531184521
tells me it is a Gm, not Workhorse chassis, but since still not clear.
If Workhorse, the workhorse site is dead; how to identify chassis type?
