Yes, the Dexstar Vintage Steel Wheel # AM20395 should work well for you. This is a 15 inch rim with a 4 on 9.44 inch bolt pattern like what you have.

Wondering if you have any info on 1962 Holiday Rambler...we’re trying to find out what wheel/tire size for it? We’ll be leaving to pick it up in a remote area.

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

You can install different hubs with your preferred 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern on your existing Dexter axles so long as the new hubs use the same bearing set as the originals. This will ensure that the new hubs, such as Dexter #84545UC1-EZ that you…
