I've got a Canadian 1950 Panel Van 1315 and it drives great, but it doesn't have a spare tire. Clearly its the American 3100 series. I admit that tire size is a mystery to me, but I have gleaned from other locations that I can use a rim from newer vehicles but they won't have the hubcap clips. That shouldn't matter to me on my spare. My existing tires are 6 bolt 5.5" hole to hole, 16" rim to rim, 3.5" offset, 3.5"hole but the tire is an H78-15 tubeless which tells me that I have 15" rims?
Somewhere I read: Nissan pickup, and pre-87 gm 4x4 rims will fit this van. I'm new to this forum and wondering: If I head off to the wreckers, what is the truth? Or...how do I find the right rim in my remote location in central British Columbia!
Also, any opinion about where the spare was mounted? This panel van was modified in the 60's with a bench seat for the family, so the interior walls may not be original
