Hi all,

I plan to replace our 67 viscount caravan wheels (early holden) with 14 inch light truck an I can't work out the size to use.
The hubcaps are Eh
Do any 14 inch wheels take eh hubcaps.
I think the offset of ht wheels will move them in to far so I was thinking of Volvo ect
I also have 2 x 16 inch light truck tyres at home but don't know what pcd will fit
thank you

Thanks,
Are the Chinese surasias any good?
I found them online in 14 inch

If you have 6.50 x 13 light truck tyres, the correst replacement is a 165R13 6 ply light truck tyre. Because we are talking about a caravan, the diameter is not the critical part, the tyres load rating is.

By the way, good luck finding any 13" light truck tyres. The easiest option would be to get some 14" rims and get 185R14 8 PR, thjey are still widely available. They will be taller than the 13" tyres, so you may have to make more clearance.

 

And avoid the Chinese made garbage. Some of it is useable, but a lot is close to dangerous.

 

[EDIT] Stupid me just re-read the OP and realised getting 14" tyres is the objective. Just put it down to a "Seniors Moment".

Chinese drive tyres on my truck = 33,000 kays. Michelins = 90,000. They also have a habit of leaking air out past the bead so I had to top them up every week.

Just like most Made in China crap = they look the part until you actually use them for intended purposes......

I went from Japanese made Toyo light truck tyres ( they were on there from new ) and had similar findings. The Toyos lasted 38,000 and I got over 80,000 from the Michelins.
