I use aluminum front wheels from a Chevy pickup (non-dually) and they work just
fine.  The front appears to have a tiny bit wider track than the rears, but it
is essentially the same.  Yes, the wheels can then not be rotated(you know what
I mean :-), but that doesn't bother me any.  They have conical seats,and the lug
nuts from the Chevy don't work as hey have a metric thread.  I bought special
nuts (early model Chevy, I think) and that cost something like $35.

From George:
Also, has anyone experimented with front wheels with a different offset
(backspacing) to help even out the tracking differences between the front and
back of the coach?  I know that it would prevent being able to rotate the tires,
but many cars come with different sized front and rear wheels.
