dugonore Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hi, I have a 82 Odyssey with the single hub dually wheels. Is it necessary to convert the rear end to a later model dually or is it possible to replace the single hub dually with a larger wider single wheel? I have had my Odyssey for years now with no problem, except when it’s time for tire repair. The single hub dually rim is a problem at most tire shops as they won’t work on them. Is there a single wheel solution that is available? Thank you for any ideas 💡🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_M Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) What tire shops are refusing service? Wall Mart, Les Schwab and Discount Tire gladly worked on mine with no refusals. Gary Edited December 10, 2020 by Gary_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Depends on how much your motorhome weighs as to if you can use single wheels. If you have the 5 lug axle it’s unsafe especially with duelly’s. If I understand your post correctly, you have duel rear wheels that cannot be separated. You could try a bubble balancer, or just leave then unbalanced. You’ll never get to a speed where balance is important.😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Wider but 15", https://www.summitracing.com/parts/CLM-7015012?seid=srese1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj_CbvI7E7QIVMQJ9Ch3ThwWJEAQYASABEgK1dfD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 These tires would work on conventional Toyota rims which you could buy for cheap. Lots of them in salvage yards everywhere. Maxxis Bravo Series UE-168(N) 205R14C D/8PR BSW Tires (tires-easy.com) You might want to add a sway bar in the back though for more stability. Also not that expensive 1982 toyota truck rear sway bar - Google Search Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugonore Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks for the input! I was thinking of a wider treaded tire to compensate for swapping out the duallies. Would the 15” rim WME linked above fit my camper, and if so what tire would be recommended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to measure first before buying. Some manufacturers may have different size openings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Well you just asked for a bigger rim, you didn't say it had to fit🤡. The 10" width requires a BIG tire and will require much body work to make them fit. Like a proper tire is 33x12.5x15. Bad news is the 33" dia. I dont know if the overall track width gain with a 15x8 rim would be worth it. But its a perfect combo for a Toy. 15x8 rim with a 225/60/15 is an exact match with a 185x14 as far as dia. The tire is a P series rated at 1525 lbs. In the pre-foolie days many of the Toys used an L60 bias tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 1525 is not a safe max load with single tires. The brand I posted Maxxis has D load range tires in several different sizes including 15 and larger wheels. Getting a single tire wide enough to match the track of the duallies is really not reasonable. That's why I suggested you add to the stability of the suspension with a rear sway bar.

WME Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Linda is right about weight. I just grabbed the first tire size that would fit correctly. The Maxxis MA-S1 in the 255/60/15 size is rated at 1875lbs and has a 27" dia. Redesigning the rear suspension of a Toyhouse is a bit more complected that slapping on a 15x10 wheel. BUT it has been done. Just don't forget the spare and front tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
