Please consider adding a few pictures, including one or YOUR lug nuts (both sides), to show just what you are after.
What is the lug nut stud size ?
Do you have a Part Number for one of YOUR lug nuts ?
Are the rims HUB centered or LUG centered ?
6 lug 8 inches wide . . . or . . . 8 lug 6 inches wide ?
Does your FMC (856 ?) use them on front and rear or just rear ?
The 6(?) lug rims are NOT "stock". Whoever came up with those rims (and HUBS/Discs/or DRUMS) has not, to my knowledge, SHARED just what vehicle/year they were used on.
Perhaps some Owner of a Diesel engine FMC knows . . . and will share that unique identification of Part Number or Vehicle/Year Application or Source ? ? ?

You may also consider asking about a rim on the Barth Website - http://www.barthmobile.com/eve
The Barth MCC had a lengthened FMC Chassis with Cat 3208 Power. Early magazine pictures show it with 5 lug FMC type RIMS, but many later pictures show 6 lug rims. Only 49 MCCs were made.
http://www.fmcmotorcoach.com/files/MotorHomeJan82_Barth_MCC_Article...
Barth switched (year ?) to an aluminum box type body, but kept the FMC Chassis. Those were called either Regal or Regency ? Then they used Chevy P30 chassis and Oskosh and Ford and other(?) chassis.
I am not sure of the "evolution" of Barth Motorhomes.

Roll ON ! Lou #120

Found Barth History. . . sort of . . .

http://barthmobile.com/gallery-1.shtml

Apparently after the 49 MCCs . . . about 105 Barth REGENCY motorhomes were made using the FMC/MCC 35 ft chassis with a diesel engine (3208 Cat ?)
That may be where the 6 lug stuff came from, but it does not solve the SOURCE issue of what vehicle Barth "pirated" the brakes(disc), hubs, rims from.
Also Barth used an AIR OVER HYDRAULIC Brake System.
There were some 4-53 Detroit Diesel TRANSIT FMCs made but with what BRAKE SYSTEM ?

That is the fun of restoring ANTIQUE vehicles like the FMC 2900R. What did that come off of ? (even if you flunked English ending sentences with propositions)
Press ON ! Lou #120

DUH ?
Seems that petrier is looking for a FIVE LUG RIM, not a SIX Lug.

I respond to the data/description given. Silly me.
