Hello, I have 8 inch tires for on 1994 coleman popup, was interested in switching to 12 inch. Would they fit on rims that I have to now with the 8 inch tires?

Expert Reply:
Looking at the brochure for the 1994 Coleman Pop Up campers I do see they used a 5.7-8 tire like the Kenda Load Range B # AM10010. To move to a 12" wheel size you would need to change to a 12" wheel and tire like the Kenda 5.3-12 # AM30740. As this tire is almost 4" taller you would likely need to flip your axle to mount below your leaf springs. If you can send me the dimension of your axle and an image of its mounts I can help you to verify you will be able to do this and if that will gain you the necessary clearance. Otherwise you might just consider moving to a stiffer tire like the Kenda Load Range D # AM10013 if you feel your tires are not strong enough for your load.
