Wheel adapters - who needs them? If you've got one of those toyhomes with 5-lug wheels in the front and 6-lug wheels in the back, wouldn't it be nice to be able to carry just one spare that fits both? That's possible with one 5-lug to 6-lug adapter. Or get two adapters and use 6-lug rims all around. The specific adapters needed for our toyhome application, 5x4.5- 6x7.25, aren't easily available. I've been talking to Motorsports Tech, who can custom fabricate them for us. Ordered individually, the adapters are $100 each. However, if there are enough of us out there, with an order of ten it's down to $90, and at 20 ordered it's down to $80. Let me know if you're interested and I'm happy to coordinate with motorsport tech. Shipping to anywhere in the US in a USPS large flat rate box would be $17.60 each.

I am in need of an outer rim to the 14inch, 5 lug 1/2 ton dually system. Anyone know where I can find one or have any ideas of where to look. I have gone to trailer tire places and a bunch of the local used tire places as well as the new tire places. The rim I have has gotten a crack in it and will not hold air. Please respond with any brilliant or backyard ideas. -
My spare got stolen in Oakland, CA and it's been impossible to discover the rim size to replace it. 6 lug. Does anyone have a clue?

1st many thanks to everyone for the many helpful posts. When I acquired Harvey the RV (1984 Huntsman 2.4L, 4 speed) last fall it came with front wheel extenders and these rare wheels & no spare tire or rim. I've yet to find a front rim that would match the current set-up so I scored 3ea 14' rims to refurbish from the local junk yard. The rims I acquired appear spot on in size, wheel offset & allow ample clearance for the steering & brake assemblies. See attached pics. Can anyone think see a problem using these refurbished rims? My only concern so far is the lesser amount of welding that holds the rims onto the wheels. I'd hate to experience another towing episode without a front spare. We did get a flat while traveling... the outcome turned into a lucky miracle.... best to be prepared next time ;-). Thanks for all our expertise & experience. I hope to contribute also in the future.
