Chip, I had one blow on my 27 trailer last year going from TSA to Uvalde. I stoped at discount tire and they were able to find a rim that worked. It took a couple of days to get it and was around 80-100 bucks. It didnt match the other one but works fine.

Chip,

This site will cross-reference your bolt pattern to vehicles. After that, it's a matter of matching up diameter, width and offset. https://www.roadkillcustoms.com/whee...ference/#tab-2

I feel your pain. I have an orphan axle that only accepts 14" wheels from a vintage Oldsmoble. This is due to odd bump outs in the cast brake drums that require corresponding pockets in the steel rims. I've made sure to have several spares, but after the last major blow-out, I'm down to one.

Good luck,
Craig Funston

Good sources, thx. Another one that's useful: http://adaptitusa.com/referencebook.htm

If you copy/paste into Excel, you can filter on the bolt pattern and centerbore and end up with a list of vehicles. From that, you can painfully gather the wheel size and offset data and end up with a list of possible vehicles. Or just go to a wheel/tire shop and get them to do it. Making progress.

Chip, have you asked Spindelbergers?
They've always been immensely helpful.
