Rim Size

[2TROLLFAM]

Brad of the Bacon isn't here this weekend and just wondering how I find out what size the rims are on my camping trailer - is it written somewhere? Went through all the paperwork I have from when I bought it but can't find anything

They are Dick Cepek wheels

It will say on the tyres ,for an example 265 75 r16 .the r16 means 16 inch r17 would be 17 inch etc

Thanks .. Rightio so 265/70 R16 112S M+S means they are 16inch right?

The tyres are TERRA TRAC RADIAL A/W Hercules. (what they came with)

So if I get the exact same rims for my next 4WD and similar size tyres I would be able to use the spare on both car & trailer???

This may explain it all in more detail if your interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

I've done the same but we still take a spare on the car and on the trailer just incase.

Cool cheers ... That was the plan - spare on trailer is a mag & if I got 5 for car then essentially I got 2 spares

Yea good plan.
depending on the offset of the trailer rims and what's needed for the car you can match that also. just as long as the overall rolling diameter is the Same it will get you out of trouble

Here's how to measure offset, crap vid sorry but you will get the idea ,
