Can somebody please tell me if all 14inch bus wheels are the same. I want a set for my 65 and a guy said he has some but they came of a 70 camper. He said they were the 5 wide pattern. I checked the forum but can't find any info.

I have both a wheel from a 66 and a wheel from a 70 and a side by side comparison shows me they are the same. They also look the same as a 73-74 14" Thing wheel, but I can let the pros correct me.

Thing 14" rims have a different offset than a bus wheel.

bay window hubcap clips are also different. A little longer if I remember correctly. They will work on your 65 though
