Can anyone tell me what size wheels were fitted to a 1967 Olympic Riviera caravan, 13" or 14"?

Not sure when they changed over. But mine are 14"
While they are good running the 14's - getting the tyre in and out of the wheel well can be a pain. Had to modify my wheel well to make it easier.
Oh and I believe they had different stud patterns as well.
Do you have an original or some wheels on your van? That should give you the best indication of what to use.
Cheers Atog

They are the wheels that were on it when I purchased it, they are 14" HG/HT Holden rims with 185R14 light truck tyres fitted. I feel that the ride hight is a little high and have always wondered whether they were factory fitted or not.
Cheers, Ian.

If it is a 67 van, I doubt the standard rims would have been 14 inch HT/HK or HG.
So I would say 13 inch rims would have been standard as per factory..

Torana, HR etc of that era have 13s.
I just bought 13inch LT tyres, $128 each fitted with tubes.
