• How Can Offset be Determined for Trailer Tires on a Trailer
  I do have a solution for you but we don't recommend using a spacer as that will cause your wheel to sit at a different location on your lugs. The offset of a wheel can be determined by measuring from the mounting surface of the wheel (where it mounts to your hub) to the inside and outside beads once the wheel has been removed from your trailer. The difference of these measurements tells you what your offset is. Most trailer tires have an offset of zero but if your wheel has a negative...

• Choosing a Trailer Rim with Positive Offset to Increase Side Clearance
  Narrower tires and rims will certainly help you pick up some side clearance for fitting your boat trailer into your garage. A wheel with positive offset will also help by shifting the wheel's center closer to the trailer frame. Since you have 1-1/2-inches of extra clearance between the tires and trailer frame, 0.5-inch positive offset rim # AM20304 will give you a total of 1-inch additional clearance (1/2-inch on each side). Be sure to use only special trailer (ST) type tires on your boat...

• Baby Moon With 9-3/8 Inch Diameter Compatibility with Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheels
  The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20304 you referenced is a conventional wheel that should work with most baby moons. We have baby moons # AM90086 that I can confirm as a fit that have a slightly smaller inner dimension of 9-1/4 inches. These are a fit for 13, 14, and 15 inch wheels. My contact at the manufacturer said he would be surprised if your baby moons don't fit because they should all be compatible, but we can't confirm...

• Can Trailer Wheels be Used on Vehicle
  No, the wheels we sell are specifically intended for trailer applications and are not suitable for use on a vehicle, even if the bolt pattern matches. Trailer wheels differ in their amount of offset, which is the placement of the actual tire tread relative to the wheel center line. Trailer wheels often have no offset while vehicle wheels can have the offset required to correctly position the tire in the wheel well. Use only vehicle wheels on a vehicle and use only trailer wheels on a trailer. I...

• Can The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20304 Be Used On A 1963 Ford Fairlane
  The wheels we carry are designed for trailer use but if the specifications of the wheel align with the specs needed for the vehicle then you could still technically use them. The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20304 you referenced is a 14" diameter x 5-1/2" wide wheel with a 2.62" pilot hole and +0.5" offset. It requires a 1/2"-20 stud size and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. The 2,200lb capacity of the wheel would be more than enough to handle the weight of the vehicle. I recommend verifying...

• Recommended Wheel for 205/14R Trailer Tires
  The recommended wheel width range for your tires are 5”, 5-1/2”, 6”, and 6-1/2” rims. For a trailer tire, the narrowest possible rim option is going to be the best because it provides more support for the tire. I recommend our Dexstar, part # AM20304. It's a conventional steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

• Are Baby Moon Hubcaps Available For Dexstar 14" Vintage Trailer Wheels?
  It appears you will have to switch to a Conventional Wheel # AM20304 to use a Baby Moon Hubcap # AM90086. I am unable to see anyone manufacturing a baby moon or other type of hubcap for your Vintage Wheel # AM20334. If you can tell me the bearing sizes used on your hubs I can verify if there is a hub which will fit your spindle without modification.

• Can Dexstar # AM20304 Conventional 14 x 5-1/2 Steel Wheel Be Used on Passenger Vehicle
  The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel, part # AM20304 could be used on a passenger vehicle, as long as the vehicle's hubs use a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and the wheel's 1870 lb capacity isn't exceeded (7480lb for 4 wheels.) The wheel has a 1/2 inch positive offset, which means that the wheel mounting pad isn't perfectly centered along the width of the wheel, rather it's moved closer tot he vehicle by 1/2 an inch.

• 14 Inch Diameter Trailer Wheel with 5-on-4-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern and 2-5/8 Pilot Diameter

The Dexstar 14 x 5-1/2 conventional steel wheel, part # AM20304 would work well for you. To confirm your bolt pattern, take a look at the FAQ article I've linked for you.

• Conventional Style Trailer Wheel Recommendation that is 14 inch in Diameter
  The Dexstar Conventional Trailer Wheel part # AM20304 would work well for you as it matches the wheel size and bolt pattern that you have. The pilot diameter being smaller would only matter if the grease cap area of your current hub is larger than 2.62 inches. You'll need to measure that to be certain. Then for a baby moon cover to fit this you'll need the part # AM90086 and you'll be set.

• 14 Inch Trailer Wheel and Tire that Can Use Baby Moon Hub Caps
  The baby moon hub caps such as # AM90086 only fit conventional steel wheels. For a 14 inch conventional steel wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern use # AM20304. This wheel has a positive 1/2 inch offset which means the tire will sit 1/2 inch closer to the trailer than a regular, zero offset wheel.

• Black Steel Wheel and Baby Moon Hub Cap Recommendation for a 1966 Serro Scotty Canned Ham Trailer
  I will start out with your original tire. I did some calculations and the overall diameter of your original 640/15 tire would be approximately 25.48 inches and the width would be 6.4 inches. The diameter of the older tire is most likely why, when the wheels and tires were replaced, someone went with a 13 inch wheel and tire assembly. Newer 15 inch trailer tires all start out at around 27 inches diameter which may pose a contact problem with your trailers fender wells. In addition 15 inch...
