Recommended Wheel Width for Size 205/75-15 Trailer Tire
Question:
Whats the difference of putting a tire on a 5inch or 6inch wide wheel? Is one better than the other?
asked by: Steve
Expert Reply:
A given tire size is usually suited to a range of wheel widths. For example, a 205/75-15 tire like what's used on the # AM32238B you referenced can comfortably fit on a 15 inch diameter wheel ranging from 5 inches to 6-1/2 inches wide.
The wheel used on the # AM32238B wheel/tire combo is 5 inches wide which is well within the acceptable range of widths. As long as you're within that acceptable width range, you'll be fine.
I've linked you to some helpful FAQ articles about trailer tires, one of which lists various tire sizes and the recommended wheel width ranges for each tire size.
