• Recommended Rim for a 245/75 R16 Light Truck Tire
  We have wheels that work for you but the Dexstar # AM20741 isn't wide enough for your tires. A 245/75 R16 size tire needs at least a 6-1/2 inch wide rim. We carry a few 16 inch wheels that are that wide, such as # AM22657. You may be better off going with a 235/80 R16, like # TA39VR, which is basically the same diameter as the 245/75 R16 size. You will also have the benefit of a trailer tire with a thicker sidewall instead of the LT truck tires. Some LT tires are rated for trailer...

• Steel 16" Trailer Wheels With 6 on 5-1/2" Bolt Pattern
  Here is a list of our 16" steel trailer wheels which have the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. We will not have any wheels which have the 95.4mm pilot hole you are needing which should not likely be an issue since trailers will typically use a coned Lug Nut # CE11051 which lug centers the wheel rather than hub centering the wheel like several vehicles will require. If your trailer hub is hub centric and uses a Flange Nut # LI84FR you will need to have an centric ring adapter made to fit the wheels....

• Can Trailer Tires/Wheels be Upgraded from 15 to 16 for 2017 Forest River Toy Hauler
  You definitely can increase the size of the tires on your 2017 Forest River Toy Hauler provided you have enough clearance. We recommend having at least 4" of clearance between the tire and fender (to account for flex in suspension) and then at least 2" between the tire and the trailer frame. I really like the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire, Item # TTWTRTM2358016E because it has a load range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi) and a great max speed rating of 81 mph. All you need to do...

This is just an inch higher than what the carrier measures with the handle in the retracted position (see attached photo). Please note that this carrier is designed...

• Brakes, Hubs, Tires and Wheels for 6,000 lb Axle
  I have a complete setup for your trailer that will work great with your 6,000 lb axles. I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, both left # AKEBRK-7L-SA and right # AKEBRK-7R-SA hand sides of your trailer. These brakes have the self-adjusting feature on them so you don't have to manually adjust your trailer brakes every 3,000 miles. Since you are building a trailer, you are going to need some wiring as well. I am not sure what kind of trailer you are building, but you...

• Availability of a 16 Inch Wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern
  We offer a 15 inch diameter by 6 inch wide white spoked wheel in a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, part # AM20522, but none of our vendors offer a 16 inch wheel with that bolt pattern. Generally, 16 inch wheels are used on larger trailers that have heavier axles that use a different bolt pattern like 6 on 5-1/2 or 8 on 6-1/2.

• What Size Wheel Has Weight Capacity of 3,000-Lbs or More For 6K Axle with 6 on 5-1/2 Bolt Pattern
  The highest weight capacity available for a 15 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-/12 inch bolt pattern is 2,830 lbs. You will need to use a 16 inch wheel with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern to get a wheel that has a 3,000-lb or higher weight capacity. I have the Dexstar Conventional 16 x 6 Steel Wheel, part # AM20758, that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and a weight capacity of 3,040 lbs at 80 psi. Also available is the Dexstar 16 x 6 White Spoke Steel Wheel, part # AM20741. This is a white...

• Replacement Trailer Wheels to Fit 215/85-16 Size Tires
  First of all your tire size, 215/85-16 sounds like it's a passenger vehicle tire and not a trailer tire. Trailer tire sizes begin with "ST" for special trailer. I recommend using ST tires because they have a stiffer sidewall to handle the vertical load of a trailer. If your tires are trailer tires then you're good to go. But if they aren't I would get some trailer tires. The exception is that some LT tires can be used on trailers. Your 7.50-16's that you had were likely LT tires....

• Can ST225/75R15 Trailer Tires be Replaced with ST235/85R16 Trailer Tires
  The tires that you have now, ST225/75R15, are 28.4 inches tall and 8 inches wide. The larger ST235/85R16 are 31.6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide. You would need enough space all around the existing tires to use the larger size. Only half of the difference is applied towards the trailer from the sidewall and above the tire tread to a fender or trailer body. That means that you would need more than 1.6 inches above the tread and more than 0.625 inches between the sidewalls and the trailer...

• Trailer Tire Replacement for Tire Size of 8.75-16.5 Tires on Heavy Duty Trailer
  Your current 8.75-16.5 tires have an overall diameter of 30.5" and an overall width of 8.75". The closest trailer tire size available to that is 235/80-16 which has an overall diameter of 30.9" and an overall width of about 9.25". So height-wise the tires will be very similar and even though the width is an extra 0.5" it's important to note that as far as clearance goes you're only adding 0.25". For a 235/80-16 trailer tire I highly recommend the Taskmaster Provider trailer tire # TTWTRTM2358016E...

• Wheel and Tire Recommendation for 20k Triple Axle Trailer
  For a triple axle trailer that weighs 20k you'd need wheel/tire combos that have 3,333 lb capacities each. So for a 16 inch wheel and tire with the weight capacity covered and a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern the part # TTWTRTM2358016E for the tires and part # AM20741 for the wheel would work well. This has a capacity of 3,520-lb max load at 80 psi and has a speed rating of 81 mph. We do not have them sold together, so you would need to get them mounted at a local shop. If instead your...

• Highest Capacity Trailer Wheel and Tire with 6 on 5-1/2 inch Bolt Pattern
  The highest weight rated trailer wheel and tire is the Taskmaster Provider ST235/80R16 part # TTWTRTM2358016E which has a weight capacity of 3,520 lbs at 80 psi. This would give you a wheel and tire capacity of 14.080 lbs which is over the 12k you mentioned. These do not come mounted on the wheel, so you would need # AM20741 for the wheel and then could get them mounted at a local shop. These are not USA-made tires, but they are made to USA specifications. We no longer have any USA made...

• Do you Carry 16 inch Wheels with a 5 Bolt Lug Pattern for a Cargo Trailer with 3,500 lbs Axles
  At this time we do not carry 16 inch wheels with a 5 bolt pattern or a lower profile tire. You would be best suited to stay with a 15 inch wheel and the highest rated tire available bias ply tire for 15 inch wheels, like the Karrier ST225/75D15 Bias Ply Trailer Tire - Load Range D, item # AM1ST96. This will give you a set of tires that are rated higher than the trailer axles so you will not have to worry about overloading the tires, unless the trailer itself is overloaded. Bias ply tires...

• What is Negative and Positive Wheel Offset
  Yes, a negative offset moves the tire further away from the axle/trailer, while a positive offset will move the tire closer to the trailer. Most of the trailer wheels we carry have a zero offset, which means that the the mounting surface is on the same plane as the center line of the wheel. This is done to equalize the weight of the trailer load. The offset of our wheels is listed under "Specs." For instance, the offset for the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20741 is listed as...
