Suspension Upgrading Tyres on a Touring 14 to 15

[davemc]

Hi All,

Even though the new 22 is underslung would not mind changing the tyres from 14 to 15.
Is it as simple as changing the tyres/rims over?
Might hit up a few Jayco dealers to see if they have some 15 outback stock.

Making sure you have the right offset and that there is room between the tyres - if a tandem easy transition

Already underslung so I hope not a problem

I have thought about doing the same, my wheels look like toys.

carbibles.com has a calculator which will show wheel/tyre sizing which is most helpfull and will show if they will fit in the wheel arch without ripping chunks out of your van then I would find someone with 15 rims and borrow their spare so you can size up. The web site will also show how to measure offset.

If anyone hears any noises after midnight in Beaufort and me carrying a couple of jacks do not worry

I was told by dealer when we looked into a StarCraft and doing the same thing, that the 15's wont fit the Touring model
