Postby caldwelld » Sun Jun 16, 2019 12:35 am

Hi, does anyone know of a space saver wheel that will fit the above. The original rim was 14inch 5 stud and was a camper van in its first life.I have now converted it to a pickup. Would like to put up a few photos of it but dont know how to do it.Any help would be appreciated.

how come you need a space saver? can't you extend the hangers and fit a normal wheel?

Hi , This transit has been converted from campervan to pickup. I am going to put the space saver wheel under the floor bed which will lift up to gain access to the wheel. I dont want to bolt it to the back of the cab. I would like to put photos on this forum but do not know how to do it. Can anyone advise me please.? I am considering making a skinny wheel to suit. The wheels on the rear have had a 3inch band inserted so im sure we could make a skinny wheel also.

Before you make up a wheel can you get a suitable tyre that will fit the wheel and be of the correct weight rating most camper vans are likely to run near or over their weight limit and if you are unlucky to have a accident what will your insurance company make of it
