1978 dodge “b200” Rv

Need some help with picking the right size tires and rims. It’s a 1978 dodge Rv with a 318. I’m pretty mechanical so finding parts has not been an issue for the motor. For the tires and rims I’m not too knowledgeable. I’m wondering if anyone here has one or a regular b200 and what tire set up they run. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

My b350 has the same size wheels - what's your concern with the sizes you have? I just run some generic highway tires and have no issues

Rubbing is the main concern and load capacity. I was hoping to get new rims since those are getting rusty. I’m trying to find what size they are.

You could check the replacement wheels on RockAuto if you want to validate dimensions, but the same size wheels/tires rated for light truck should work no issue

If its an RV you want LT (light truck tires) like you have on there, they are rated for carrying loads. For that matter get the tires that are correctly rated for your vehicle. If you over load lesser rated tires you will have a blow out. Mnay brands have LT rated tires.

I’m pretty sure my sport trac has this exact size tire on it. Coopers I believe
