• Can I Determine the psi Rating of a Wheel
  
• Since wheels will be able to withstand the psi rating of any of the tires that are meant to fit it you will need to look at the valve stem as that is the deciding factor. If your valve stem has the rubber all the way up to the threads, like part # AM20903, then it will be rated around 65 psi. If there is some reinforcement between the rubber and the threads, like part # AM20904 or # AM20907, then your valve stem can be rated between 80 and 100 psi. The only valve stems that are rated...

• Recommended Demco Kar Kaddy Dolly Replacement Wheels and Tires
  
• The Replacement Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy 3 Tow Dolly - White # DM09296 will fit the measurements you gave as the older style had significantly different measurements.

They do this to ensure proper fit of their wheel with a 42 mm offset is used an not any other product that may cause the dolly to not function correctly. If...

• Trailer Tire Valve Stem Pressure Capacity for Changing to Load Range D Tires
  
• The limiting factor in a wheel's pressure capacity is usually the valve stem. Some are rated only for 65-psi, # AM20903, while others such as # AM20904 are rated for 80-psi. Part # AM20907 handles up to 100-psi and part # AM20906 is good for tires needing over 100-psi pressure. Note different valve stems fit different size holes in the wheels. You will have no trouble moving up to a Load Range D tire on your 15 x 5-inch wheels so long as you also have the correct valve stem installed...

• Valve Stem and Pilot Hole Size for 12 x 4 Inch, 5 on 4-1/2 Trailer Wheels
  
• For any of the recommended wheels you can use valve stem # AM20903. The pilot hole on all of the wheels is 3.19 inches in diameter which is a common size. I have no doubt that the wheels will fit your hubs especially since you mentioned the spare's pilot hole is slightly larger than the hub where the wheel mounts.

• Correct Valve Stems for Load Range D Tire on Dexstar Rim # AM20436
  
• When installing a load range D tire with a 65 psi rating, like part # C22515D, on the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20436, it would be better to use a valve stem that is rated for over 65 psi. Although you need to keep the tire pressure at the recommended psi, this will give you some peace of mind and allow for any instances if you accidentally over inflate them. The next step up from the Americana Rubber, Snap-In Valve Stem # AM20903 rated for up to 65 psi is the Americana...

• What Makes a Wheel Rated for Use on a Boat Trailer
  
• The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # TTW460545WM1 has a white powder coated finish. It can still be used on a boat trailer but it will not hold up well in due time. Boat trailer wheels are frequently submerged in both fresh and saltwater applications which makes them much more prone to rust and corrosion. Rust and corrosion will not only take the finish off of the wheel but it will also corrode the bead seat which will cause the tire to leak air. Instead, I recommend going...

• 12 Inch Aluminum Wheels for 5.30-12 Tires on a Boat Trailer

• Trailer Tire Size ST205/75R14 in Load Range D
  
• For a Load Range D trailer tire sized 205/75R14 we have the part # AM10235. It does need 65 psi in the tires at all times which shouldn't be a problem for your wheel at all. There's a slim chance your valve stem wouldn't be able to handle the pressure but most trailer tire valve stems should have no problem. For example, our lowest rated valve stem part # AM20903 has a 65 psi limit. This fits through trailer wheel stem holes of .453 inch and part # AM20905 also is rated for 65 psi and...

• 14 Inch Galvanized Rim for Boat Trailer With 205/75R14 Tires
  
• A 205/75R14 tire is going to fit on a 14 inch wheel though to get the correct one you will need to know the bolt pattern of your current wheels; I've attached a help article for you which explains exactly how to determine what bolt pattern you need. Our selection of galvanized 14" wheels has a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2" and it is a very common pattern. Should this be the same as yours I recommend the Americana # AM20364, which is a galvanized wheel that is 14" x 6" with a 2,040 lb capacity....

• Maximum PSI for Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Trailer Wheel
  
• A rim in and of itself is not rated for a specific psi. The valve stem is actually what determines the pressure a rim can withstand. You'll see some rims on our website that list a rating and that is because they include a valve stem. The Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Trailer Wheel, part # AM22327, that you asked about does not include a valve stem so you'll need to add them. To fit this rim we carry part # AM20903 rated up to 65 psi and part # AM20904 which is rated up to 80 psi.

• Trailer Tire and Rim Pressure Capacities and Correct Inflation
  
• In a trailer tire the limiting factor for PSI pressure is usually the valve stem. Different valve stems handle different pressures. Some rubber stems like # AM20903 are good to 65-psi while others like # AM20904 are good to 80-psi or to 100-psi as with # AM20907. Metal stem # AM20906 can handle pressure up to 200-psi. Usually a rim itself will handle any pressure required by the tire sizes that fit it. Any trailer tire will be able to meet its maximum weight load rating only when inflated...

• Will a Load Range D Trailer Tire Work on Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 14" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2
  
• You can use load range D tires on wheel # AM20354. The psi issue is related to the valve stem used. The recommended valve stem for this wheel is # AM20903 which is rated up to 65 psi. Or you could use # AM20904 rated up to 80 psi. Load range D tire # TTWTRTM2157514D is a 215/75-14 tire rated for a maximum of 2,200 pounds at 65 psi. If you are using 205/75-14 tires such as # AM10235 then they are likely rated for 65 psi as well.

The only 215/75/14 tire we offer in a D load range is a radial construction. For this I recommend using the Provider ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire...

• Replacement Tires for Old Travel Trailer Tires G78-15
  
• Yes, the Contender Radial Tires, # C20851D, will be a good replacement for your G78-15 tires. The G78-15 tires have an overall diameter of 27.1" and the 205/75/15 have a diameter of 27.13". Your clearance of just 2" is concerning. Typically we recommend no less than 4.5" between the tire tread and the wheel well for bump clearance on trailers with leaf spring suspension. It is fine to change the size of your travel trailer tires as long as the tires you select are rated high enough...

• Upgrading 205/75-15 Tires on 2007 Rockwood Ultralight Travel Trailer
  
• I do have a solution for you, however, upgrading to larger tires isn't an option. We recommend at least 3-4 inches of clearance between the top of the tire and the fenders and at least 1-2 inches between the side wall and inside of the wheel well. This is necessary to allow for proper suspension articulation, especially when driving on a bumpy road or going over a pot hole. With this in mind, I do not recommend putting larger tires on your travel trailer, but instead using one with a higher...
