Question:
I may need to replace the wheels/tires/and wheel bolts on a 1963 Holiday Rambler Travel Trailer. The tires that are on it have evidence of dry-rot, and the lug nuts are rust welded to the studs. In navigating your website, I believe the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 LR-E may be the correct wheel and tire replacement. Id like to confirm that. Secondly, I am also leaning toward the Redline Wheel Bolt # 7-23 1/2inch x 2-1/4 to replace the bolts/studs. As none of this is my field of expertise, Id like to get confirmation that I have ed the proper combinations before I place an order. I appreciate your help.

I am not able to find what tire size you currently would have on your 1963 Holiday Rambler so unfortunately I can't verify if the Kenda Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Tire and Wheel Combo # AM32680 that you referenced will work as a replacement.
Trailer manufactures don't typically do a good job of making information like this available and it can be especially hard to research on older trailers like what you have. To ensure this tire and wheel will work perfectly you will want to check for the tire size that should be listed right on the side wall of your existing tire. If the size you find is not ST225/75R15 please let me know and I will be happy to recommend a suitable alternative.
You will also want to make sure the bolt pattern on these wheels matches your existing pattern. The white spoke wheel in this combo features a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. If you are unsure what you have I have attached a great article that explains how to measure this.
The Redline 1/2" Wheel Bolt # 7-23 will work with this wheel but you will again just want to make sure it matches the your existing bolts in size. Also make sure that your hub does in fact use bolts and not studs. These have a 2-1/4 inch thread length and a 7/8 inch head size.
