I have just paid for a very nice pilot 22 ft which I think is quite heavy and I need to get her home. She will live in my garden as an 'extension'

The fantastic looking tyres are very old and the side walls are cracked...... 7.00 x 16

I want to keep the tyres but to get her home 200 miles I need a better pair of wheels with or with out tyres.

Its that or get the tyres changed at the other end. And then back again this end!

So I am appealing to anyone who can help with advice either with the stud pattern or some spare wheels or some wheels I could rent for a day!!!!!
Or any other way of doing it?

They are 5 stud and the centre to centre measurement of the studs is 97mm. I could not measure across the PCD as the hub protrudes. The wheels are solid steel, no holes or patterns.

I think getting a pair of radials that size should be easy enough.

thank you.......... steve

Five stud 16" could well be Land Rover rims. Where are you?

As you haven't done me the courtesy of a reply,am I to assume that you don't want my help?

Hi Emmerson........ no I was not being rude!!!!!!!

I have just been on here for the first time in weeks as I have been attending to my elderly sick mother.

I got no response to my plea for 4 weeks by which time I had worked it out for myself. Thank you for your suggestion though.
