Seidel necessary for tire upgrade?

I've been reading about upgrading the 14" Bambi Sport tires to 15" Michelins. I've also seen mention of a 15" SenDel T03-56545T wheel. Are those wheels necessary to upgrade to the Michelin 15" tires?

15" tires are the way to go

Howdy,
For our 2013 16, we upgraded to 15" Truck tires and matching rims for our TV.

The ride is excellent (was not bad before) and I highly recommend it. We had a tire/axle shop do the install.

Experience of wheel size change from 14 to 15 inch

Hi. I know this is an old thread but I would be interested what your experiences have been after the switch from 14 to 15 inch wheels on your 16 ft Sport. I have a 2018 Sport and am considering the swap. Any changes in towing response, sway, etc. thank you.

Basecamp X Wheels/Tires

Does anyone know if the Basecamp X 15 inch wheel/tire package has the same bolt pattern as the 16' Bambi? We had the dealer install the 3"lift and are wanting to upgrade to 15's.

The 14" tires and wheels like on our 2015 23D were a five bolt pattern attached to 10" drum brakes. The 15" and 16" wheels are available in the six bolt pattern used on the 12" drum brakes.

These wheels are used by Airstream when installing 16" wheels. We used them also for the 15" five bolt upgrade to our 23D and the 16" on our Classic.
