Any suggestions on where to find a spare rim for Class A

We have a 1999 Coachmen Santara Class A. Looking for a spare rim( did not come with one) it is a f53 chasis. Need it to be a 19.5 8 lug. Called dealer where we purchased it from and they said they couldnt help us locate one. Need one for spring. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
Sandy

    These are unique, but I found one at a road side tire store in Toltec AZ. I needed one for a mounted spare. Check on line as well, but make sure you have the right part number. I also checked with the Ford truck dealer as well. Mine was about $260.


    They are the same rim as used on every cab and chassis F-450/F-550 made from 1998 to present! If that truck has 19.5" rims and 8 lugs, it will also be the same size, and have a required minimum weight rating. The 4X4 F-450 pickup is actually a dressed up F-350, and come with 18" rims, so it will not work.

    If you have a 22,000 and above GVWR, then the Ford dealership can get a new rim, but used ones might be more difficult to locate.

    Any RV junkyard can normally locate a part for you, as most are computer listed parts, and will be able to check other nearby junkyards for a used rim.

    I have a 97, and the only 19.5" rims for my motorhome are from aftermarket places, (I have 10 lugs and factory rated rims at only 3,050 pounds at 90 PSI. Your rims have a much higher weight rating).

  • Go to a heavy duty truck/trailer wheel place. I am sure if they do not have it, they can order one.
