Hi,
I need a spare wheel for my caravan. The size stamped on it is
5 1/2J X 14 H2. If I find a used wheel with the same stamp will it be an exact match?

Many thanks,
Mark

Maybe.

that gives you the width x diameter (not sure about the H2 bit) you also need the stud pattern and diameter (eg 5x112 5 studs at a diameter of 112mm) and the hub diameter (thats the big hole in the middle. Then theres the offset eg +45et. Try looking on some of the alloy wheel sites they give a good explaination of things and ask the caravan mfr what you need.

The H2 relates to the rim profile, and will be stamped on the steel wheel. It's unlikely to be a special wheel, but the trick is to track down where they sourced it - i.e. what car was it originally fitted to? If there's a part number, try googling it.
