Plus the 4 oval holes on the rim are different size (so the OEM cap that olds the air valve wont fit) and the little hole that lines up the dually rims in the back was 90 deg off so now the valve stem is 90 off from the other rim (instead of 180 deg off like factory setup).

Im using this rim anyway but for the same price ($80) other have purchased used rims (look like new) on eBay (I should have done this as well).

Funny thing. I read there may be an issue with the fitment so I asked the rep at the Road Ready about the offset and he said check with the dealer. I had a couple of other issues to discuss with Thor so I asked them and they said any wheel with the right size should fit. They also confirmed the back tires and front tires are interchangeable. Grinding a couple of millimeters off isn't that big of a deal EXCEPT, I cannot bring my coach into my community so I would have to do that grinding at the storage facility. Is there a wheel that is a direct replacement, without any grinding? I am going to check out Ebay. Thanks!
