Hi everyone I'm having a hard time trying to replace the tires on my 1976 Dodge RV. I took it to my mechanic who said I have 16.5 inch tires that are no longer in production. He decided that it'd be best to switch out the rims to either 16 or 17 inch rims since tires for those are readily available. And cue the current problem. He found after researching that the rims have alternating "nipples" as he called it. On most wheels the holes in the rim are flat but half the holes on my rims have that nipple or lip turned inwards and half turned outwards. Apparently he can't put on the flat holed rims because only half of the 8 bolts would be secure and eventually the wheel would come loose. He also found that the rims are now hard to find because obviously it was a flawed design. I still see lots of old dodge RVs on the road today so it must be done somehow. He mentioned something about them being dually rims. My question is does anyone know of a place that would have the dually rims or know of any adapters or something to make new rims work?
