Been looking for a spare wheel lately then remembered someone mentioned a breakers yard that has motorhome bits an bobs but can't find the post so if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. TIA.

A company called custom caprers might be abill to help I have no connection with them other than getting sum bits for my verry old van

Thanks Bill any chance you have their phone number/website .
 
Sorry, that was the American version.

 
If it's a Fiat, Ford, Merc or Peugeot any scrap yard might have one especially if it specialises in vans/trucks.
 
under 3500kg usually 115pcd and over 130pcd

That's narrow. Ducato lights are 115mm, the heavy being even larger.
that's what I was told to measure by the wheel shop in Manchester 71, light 78 heavy centre of wheel stud to centre of adjacent one which was 71 and a midges di*k, have they told me wrong and have you got a spare one knocking around ta.

I've got a steel spare wheel for a light chassis with a brand new 225/75/16 tyre but my problem is that it is eating a chunk out of my payload so I am thinking about selling it and going back to relying on my "tube of goo". It cost me £145 eighteen months ago. PM me if you are interested in making an offer.

Don't do it. Sure as eggs are eggs when you need it the tube of gunk isn't going to hack it and even if it does most of the tyre guys won't even touch it. You'll be buying a new tyre.
 
OK if the weight of the spare is causing you problems.

It might be worth re-checking your measurement of the bolt centres. 115mm PCD would be just over 67mm bolt centres and 130mm PCD would be 76mm so your 71mm is sort of in-between

Hi dunnah01, I was told to measure half way between two centres 71 for the light chassis or 78 for the heavy chassis, by the Wheel shop , if you have a look at Newfi's post the calculator tells you to measure the two points and times it by 1.7012 which gives you 120 ,so what's the best way to go as I will need one it the next 2/3weeks
 
I think that what the OP has been asked to measure is not the PCD or the distance between studs but the size of the centre bore of the wheel which is 71.1mm for light chassis and 78.1mm for heavy chassis. Likewise the light chassis uses 14mm bolts and the heavy 16mm bolts. Mike

Hi Ex caravantugger , was told to measure between the studs but what you have said makes sense , but as said previously Newfi's post show how to measure and it is between the studs then x it
