Re: [A/S] A few Overlander questions
Using junk yard wheels on an Airstream trailer, is not
a good idea.
What are the rating of those junk yard wheels? What
will the inset be? Why are they in a junk yard? How
much stress or abuse have those junk yard wheels been
exposed to?
Using wheels on an Airtream trailer, without having
answers to those questions is not very wise.
You will be risking the safety and security of
everyone that may be traveling with you, as well as
everyone that may be on the highways with you.
Any guard house lawyer, with more than 30 minutes of
schooling, would take you to task, to no end, for
using used wheels, with no known history or ratings,
should you ever hurt someone.
Get new wheels rated at 2600 pounds. They are around
$75.00 each. While your at it, have load range "D"
tires put on them, then balance the tires, wheels, hub
and drums, as an assembly.
Your family will love you, for considering their
safety. Max
