Hi

I own an Eberle clamshell trailer. I have no spare wheel, and am
in search of one. I have visited at least four local tire shops where
I live (in Canada) with no luck. I know the trailers are of European
manufacture, and the bolt pattern may be metric. Canada uses the
metric system, but apparently rim suppliers here do not.

I purchased one rim, which I was assured would fit, but when I tried
it, the bolt pattern was too narrow by the smallest of margins.

Does anyone know of a source for such rims?

Thanks

Hello Bob,

check the rims on your trailer. There should be a number stamped in
somewhere visible on the outside; something like 6J x 14 or 6J x 15.
These numbers tell a retailer the rim size and the off-set. I cannot
imagine that Eberle used a "custom" made size for their trailers. Did
you check at JC Whitney? They have a method of measuring the bolt
pattern; even for odd numbers of bolts.

Good luck,
