[A/S] Re: Wheels & Tires for 1960 Traveler






Hi Cindy,

I recently bought wheels for a '59 Traveler.  The wheels on my trailer are 14" with six lugs 
on a 5.5" circle.  The 6 on 5.5 is very popular for 15", but there is not enough room in the 
wheel wells.  There were a few vehicles that used this wheel in the past (70's Chevy Luv 
truck and others) .  The problems were that they were only rated to 1100 lbs and they did 
not have zero offset.  I ended up having a set of wheels built at Stockton  wheel that were 
rated to 1800 lbs with zero offset.  The wheels ran about $60 ea powder coated black. 

Hope this helps,

Craig
