• 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...

• Replacing Valve Stems to Increase PSI Rating of Rim to Equal Tire
  The psi rating will be determined by either the tire or the valve stem of the wheels. If you upgrade your tires you can upgrade the valve stems to meet the necessary psi. We carry several options. Americana # AM20903 are rated up to 65 psi and # AM20904 are rated up to 80 psi. Or for heavier trailers we have # AM20907 rated up to 100 psi and # AM20906 rated over 100 psi which are metal.

• Where Is the PSI Rating for a Trailer Wheel Located At On the Wheel
  The pressure or psi rating of a trailer wheel will come from the valve stem. They do not really rate the wheel itself to a certain psi rating as the limiting factor will always be the valve stem. If you are running tires that required under 65 psi then you can use part # AM20903 but for anything over 65 psi you would want to use part # AM20906.

• Can Rims for 205/75-14 Sized Tires Handle 65 PSI if Increasing to 215/75-14 Sized Tires
  Most likely the 215/75 R14 tire will fit just fine. As long as the rim isn't a 5 inch rim. A 205/75 R14 tire can be on a rim as small as 5 inches but the larger tire can't go any smaller than 5-1/2. So measure the width of the rim from where the tire touches it and make sure it's wide enough. Chances are the rim can handle the 65 psi. It's actually the valve stem of the wheel that determines if it can handle the psi or not and most stems are rated to at least 65 psi. If yours isn't,...

• 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...

• 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...

• Lug Nuts for Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 and Series S5 Trailer Wheel
  The Aluminum HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 and Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel # TTWALS514545 (Silver) or # AM22330HWTB (Black) will use standard 60-degree cone lug nuts such as the Kodiak Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # KALN1375S. This is a stainless steel lug nut, which can be used with the aluminum HWT wheels because the wheels do already have a steel insert to prevent any type of galvanic corrosion. Then for a valve stem you can use the Americana Snap-In Valve...

• 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 Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # AM20365 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 with a wheel...

• Will Dextar Conventional Steel Wheels Fit on a Vintage Truck
  The Dexstar 15" Conventional Steel Wheel, # AM20514, are basically the same wheels that were used on vintage 1940's and 1950's trucks and people quite often use them on vintage trucks today, but we do not recommend using them on trucks that see regular public road use. The steel wheels we offer are designated for trailer use only and they are not tested on automotive applications. The biggest risk that you would be taking on is that if something were to go wrong with these wheels, then...

• Replacement Load Range G Tires and Determining PSI Rating for Wheel
  Typically the psi rating for a wheel will be printed on a sticker on the back of the wheel or stamped into the metal of the wheel itself (on the back). The tire that is mounted to the wheel will be at or below the psi rating for the wheel and you should always inflate trailer tires to their maximum psi as listed on the sidewall. You can also take a look at the valve stem on your existing wheels. Typically valve stems that have rubber all the way up to the treads like # AM20903 will...

• 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.

• 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...

• 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.
