Question:

Hi, I was wondering if I could use this #TA95ZR for the spare for my Big Tex 16ET trailer. TIA

Based on my research a Big Tex 16ET trailer uses a 17.5" x 6.75" wheel with an 8-bolt lug pattern and uses ST215/75R17.5 load range H tires.

The Provider 215/75R17.5 Radial Tire w/ 17-1/2" Silver Mod Wheel # TA95ZR you referenced is a 17-1/2" x 6-3/4" wheel which has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and has 215/75R17.5 load range H tires, so this wheel and tire combo will work for you so long as you are certain your Big Tex has that bolt pattern (if you are unsure you can take a look at the linked help article which explains exactly how to determine your bolt pattern).

This tire has a 4,805 lb capacity when inflated to 123 psi and is hub-piloted so you will need 5/8" Flange Nuts # 95188 to mount it.

I have added links to video reviews of this wheel and the flange nuts for you to check out as well.
