Caravan Wheels onto a Tear

Postby Classic Finn » Thu Dec 17, 2009 7:28 pm

I came upon this Caravan wheel here that would fit directly on our 5 x 112 axle hubs.

Id like your opinion as to how it would look on a tear? I know its not the Classic Look that should be but ...would this look good with the Classic Tear Fenders? It certainly would look Retro for one thing. :)

Dont have enough expertise to have it drawn onto a tear profile with the Kit Style fenders or Round Aluminum ones such as that of the Lil Guy Tears. :cry:

What Ageless said. The wheel offset might not work for your teardrop. The tires could hit the body, the chassis, the axle, etc...

Yep, I agree. Forget those and spend the money on the Wire wheels. They'll look better on your tear. :yes:
