Civilian rim equivalent for a BT-3

[FZYONE]

Not sure if I want to stay with the combat rims. What I have are pieced together with a bent one. That is an upgrade from the one piece that was pulled thru the lug nuts.

I know the lugs are 5 on 5.5.

Im thinking I want to go tubeless.

The trailer was bubbafied when I purchased it. Tailgate cut into it, channels welded in. Lights non existent. I have a connection that can get me some current military trailer lights. I will gut them and install some LED's.

Thoughts? I need a new bed, a new back, and period correct tail lights. To make it correct. That is an expensive proposition.

Trailer looks good for being 70 years old. There are 15" tubeless rims available, they were used on CJ's in the 1970's and Ford trucks from the same era. You will have to do some scrounging around. I'll buy your combats if they are excess to you. Oh and welcome to Steelsoldiers.

How would you get them? Ship by mail ?

The one rim set is the spare parts/damaged ones. The other two are still on. This is the trailers current look.

You can go to most tire stores and get a pair of white spoke truck/jeep wheels for that for a decent price some where around $30 each then just pic a tire you like. I bet 30/9.50r15s would fit that trailer great a look good too. Just paint the wheels your color of choice, I would do black.
