Steel Wheel for spare tire

Texas Yankee · 08-17-2018, 11:33 AM

I purchased a spare tire to carry with my Greyhawk 31FS. I need to find a 16" wheel to fit the 225/75R16 tire. Nothing fantasy. Do rims have a model #? Any advice welcome!

The Discount Tire web site (discounttire.com) has a number of helpful articles about selecting wheels. It is not really simple. Here are some of them:

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/wheel-size

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/bolt-pattern

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/h...vs-lug-centric

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/measuring-rim-width

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/offset-backspace

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/wheel-weight

And rated for the required weight and air pressure.

Of course, the easy thing to do would be to go to a tire dealer and ask them to order you an appropriate steel wheel. You'd probably want to drive your Greyhawk there, so that they can measure.

Do A search for spare wheel and tire on this forum for Class C
Lots of threads on this subject, There several differences on
Ford e450 wheels depending on year of truck.
There is a stamped # on the steel rim that is the best way to I.D.

Been struggling to figure this out as well recently. It's not an easy thing to simply look up. FWIW, this is what I've found on one website, and I think the critical things to note appear to be for the E450 with 16" wheels as follows. I'm going to where I store it to check and confirm if its the four hole wheel.

16 x 6 inch

8 lugs
bolt pattern: 6.5 inch

Take from website:

See this thread ... everything you need to know. https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f...ire-54369.html

For 2008-2017 E-450, the one I got from eBay does fit and has the part number on the rim of 8C24-1015

Texas Yankee · 08-19-2018, 07:10 PM

Discount tire gave the following specs for the wheel I need, and will give me a quote tomorrow. 16 x 6 Bolt pattern 8-165.1, +99 offset.

RVParts.com has a wheel

Hope this helps. It worked for me.

Pull one of your front wheel covers. Look on the rim for a stamped Ford part number. It should be 8C24 1015 G_. That is the OEM part number for the wheel you need.

Go onto ebay. Enter that part number along with "ford wheel" in the search box. You will find at least one seller who will send you a used wheel with the correct part number for the price of less than $75 with free shipping.

I cleaned my ebay wheel and shot a little spray bomb paint on it, then ordered a correct matching Hankook tire from Wal-Mart.com. Wal-Mart mounted ans balanced it for me.

Total cost was less than $200 and the best part, it was easy.

MikeUSNRet, attached is a picture of the stamping on the wheel. I did not see any stamping on the wheels in the format you indicated.

Texas Yankee · 08-20-2018, 06:02 AM

Having trouble downloading picture. Will attempt again!

katiedog · 08-20-2018, 07:03 AM

Once you get a steel wheel for your spare you may find you also need a set of
lug nuts to match the spare.
The ones used on aluminum wheels are a different base style than
OEM ford. I believe the Ford ones have Swivel Seats.

MikeUSNRet · 08-20-2018, 11:45 AM

Texas Yankee, I tried to get a picture of the part number on one of my wheels but was unable to get one that was readable with my low tech photo equipment.

I have the same type stampings you show in your photo followed by a Ford trademark oval and the part number 8C24 1015 GA.

There are references in other threads on this board to this being the correct wheel for the late model E450 with the large brake caliper.

GABob · 08-20-2018, 12:03 PM

Thanks, all. Just reached out to a seller on ebay to confirm a fit, he noted the one I asked about did not but recommended the following he had in stock:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/192433244097

1. wheel ordered - check
2. tire ordered - check
3. hoping I never have to use it

elcheapo · 08-20-2018, 04:38 PM

What year is your MH as your link states 1992-2007 ? As my 2016 E-450 Redhawk Rims have 4 large holes instead of 8 small holes as shown in your link.

GABob · 08-20-2018, 06:11 PM

It's a 2019, built on a 2018 E450 chassis. If you go to that website and send that seller a note, telling him what you need, he'll respond pretty quickly (within a few hours). What's nice is that they offer free shipping and returns, so it's in their best interests to be correct (at least I hope

).

katiedog · 08-20-2018, 06:27 PM

Before you mount the tire on it, try mounting bare wheel on the front.
If it spins free after bolting on it should be right one
I had 2 wheels from E Bay not fit my 2016.
They would not clear the brake Caliper.
Which is slightly different from 2007.
There are photos on the Jayco forum of both wheels
Good luck

GABob · 08-20-2018, 06:56 PM

Thanks, Katiedog. Will do!

Dgibbster · 08-22-2018, 06:06 PM

I called hubcap haven and got a new rim to match ours for $170, exact same stamp numbers

Dgibbster · 08-22-2018, 06:07 PM

And i bought my same tire from walmart website for $108 shipped

Dgibbster · 08-22-2018, 06:09 PM

Now i just have to make a mount for spare tire winch install under rear frame

Phil Saran · 08-29-2018, 02:15 PM

If ebay does not work out, you might try a local truck or maybe RV salvage yard in
your area for the rim you need.
