Thanks. What rims fit a 1998 Jayco Westport
Permalink  

Hi - just joined the forum since we bought our Westport three weeks ago and have been on a shakedown trip ever since.

Its been a bit torrid at times but all in all pretty good.

Anyways I want to get some rims and tyres for the van that are an inch or so bigger so we can get a bit more ground clearance.

Its got the roller rocker suspension and seems to have a decent bit of room in the wheel arches.

What vehicle rims fit the stud pattern? I know our GQ will take Pajero rims as an example.

thanks in advance for any tips.

Cheers from Rick

Hello rrakausk

Welcome to the forum, I do not have a Jayco Westport, but I am sure that others with this model will be along to answer your question

If you were to take your spare wheel into any reputable tyre place, they could measure the PCD and by looking up their charts, they could tell you what vehicle manufacture uses those rims.
They could also tell you if you could fit higher profile tyres on your original rims.

Enjoy your stay as this is a very good informative site
