Classic Winnebagos & Vintage RVs

Hi,


I recently purchased my 78 Brave and it doesn't have a spare tire.  It has 8R17.5 tires on it and I am having no luck finding another 17.5 wheel.  Does anyone know where I can find one?  I have tried salvage yards around here and called wheel manufacturers with no luck.  They are evidently "coined" wheels and I am told that is obsolete.  What does coined mean?


Thanks, Brian

If a 215 75r 17.5 is the same size I may be able to help you out.
with a new Bridgestone  tire and coined rim.

I think a 215 75R17.5 is probably close to an 8R17.5. I will check. Also, thanks for the pic detailing what a coined rim is.  Makes sense now!   :)ThmbUp

Be patient there out there. 

I hope you noticed I also provided links to sources for the rims

Yes Dave, I sure did!  Thanks for the help.  :)

Sir.
Are you still looking for a tire and rim?
If so P.M. me.
I'm headed to ND this weekend.

Sorry, I didn't see your post until today.  I found a '77 Chieftain that I purchased for parts and it had 6 wheels.  :)ThmbUp  Thanks for the offer.
