[A/S] Re: New Tires and Wheels



Hi Lauren

I think you will find that Mitch is right and that 225/75R x 16" 
tires will not fit in your wheel wells. It is a switch that I have 
done a few times on newer units with larger wheel wells and it works 
fine but no better than the 7.00 x 15".  

New 7.00 x 15" radial tires are available, both Bridgestone and 
Yokohama have them for sure.  Do not install Bias Ply tires.  The 
rims from a new Airstream will fit as well as many other 6 bolt 
pattern rims.  Those new Alcoa wheels would look sharp.

I hope this helps you out and if your tire guy can't get you the 
tires let me know and I will get you the product numbers.
