Finding Replacement Wheels for Mobile Home

Question:

I need 4 rims for a 1950 tandem axle mobile home 8X35. I can send you a pattern to see if you can match it. Please get back to me. Thanks As you can see they are five lug wheels I don't care is the wheels are 14 or 15 inch. Tires would be good, but I can get some somewhere, if I need to. I'm selling the trailer/shop. It will make a one way trip probably under 15 miles.

In order to find compatible wheels for your 1950 motorhome, you will first need to determine the bolt pattern you are needing. I have attached an article that explains how to measure this on your hub.

If you find that your mobile home has a standard bolt pattern, then we should have wheels that will work great on your mobile home. However, there is a decent chance that the hubs and wheels on your mobile home are not standard, as mobile home parts and axles are only designed to be used once. This means that finding compatible replacement parts can be extremely difficult.

It will also help to know the tire and wheel size you are needing. For example, the Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel - Load Range D # LHAW121has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. It also has a maximum load of 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. You will need to make sure that the combined maximum load capacity of your tires meets or exceeds the weight of your mobile home.

I have included a link that will take you to our available selection of trailer tires and wheels so you can see if we have something that will work.
