Wheels for a "68 Ambassador

[JokerDJD]

Hello,

I'm new to the forums and just purchased my 1st AS. It's a 1968 Ambassador, 28ft. Will be doing a restoration on it this winter and would like to know what aluminum wheels would work best for this trailer.
Thanks,

Mike

There really isn't a one-best answer to this selection as there are many alloy wheels available that meet the minimum specifications for Airstreams. The basic specifications are as follows:

15" X 6"


6 Lug


5.5" on Center


Offset = 0

4.25” Center Bore


2600 LB Capacity


Max PSI-65

Earlier this spring, I purchased a set of alloy wheels for my Overlander and I have been quite pleased with their quality and appearance.



The Wheel that I purchased is above, and I went through Trailer Tire and Wheel with great results -- delivery in about 72 hours following order.

Good luck with your research!

There are many wheel choices. You choice also has a load restriction. A passenger car type wheeel will not have the load capacity of 2600 #'s to do the job. Keep that in mind when choosing.
