Larger Wheel/Tire Recommendation for 1997 Jayco Pop-Up Camper

Updated 04/14/2020 | Published 05/20/2015

Question:

I lifted my trailer 6 inches and want a bigger rim and tire. Im looking to buy 13 inch rims and tires with the 4 lug rims in stead of the 10 inch that are on it now. Can you help

We do indeed have wheel/tire combos that would provide a 175/80-13 inch tire on a white powder coated steel wheel with a 4 lug on 4 inch bolt circle.

However, after closely examining the photo you kindly provided, I saw that you have what's referred to as a hub centric wheel. A hub centric wheel uses wheel bolts to fasten to the hub, not lug nuts. The wheel also gets a portion of its support from the portion of the hub protruding through the wheel. Because of this, you'll need a wheel with a pilot diameter (center hole of wheel that hub fits through) identical to the one you have now. If you'd pull one of your wheels and use an accurate measuring tool like a digital caliper to get the pilot diameter, I'd be happy to look through what we have available to see if we have a wheel that would work for you.
