Spare tire questions REV 24CB

[AlaskaRed]

We purchased our REV 24CB without a spare tire in January 2018.
Question 1: Where can I buy a reasonably priced WHEEL for our unit, with shipping to Alaska? Tires are available locally, but wheels are $600+.
Question 2: Can I get unit coach blueprint for back wall to see if a spare tire carrier can be attached there? We see someone mounted a carrier to the front bumper.

Another subject, recommendations on tire brands that are reasonable for road noise, but have more traction in snow, mud, or grassy drives?

Thanks, Alaska Red

Unless you intend on leaving the spare on after a blowout, I would just buy a no frills steel rim with a powdercoated finish. Should be less than $80 in 16" size. Depending on where you end up mounting it, it will probably have a cover and you will never see it until it's used. There is no point in paying retail for a replacement rim to match the others for a spare.

Might try Dick's Auto parts in Middlebury. They buy ALL of our salvage stuff. Steel Sprinter wheels when we option in aluminum wheels, spares we might take off, etc, etc,. It's been a while since we built Promasters, but if anyone will have them cheap, they will.

I am pretty sure I posted a rear wall print a while back for this asme reason. The guy ended up putting the spare on the front end since it was front axle light to begin with. I think that was Delco Bobby
