Question:
To etrailer, I have two Vail VR 383 F78-15 ST205/75D15inch tires on 15inch 5 by 4.5 lug pattern wheels on my 5x10 utility trailer. Rated C. They are 5.5inch wide. I see a bunch of 205/75-15 wheel/tires on your website, but none that are 5.5inch wide. Does it matter if my spare is 5 or 6inch instead of 5.5? Thanks again!

For your situation all you would need is to get the correct tire size and the correct bolt pattern on the rim you use as a spare and you would be good to go. You tire probably is not 5-1/2". You measure wheels from the beadseat to the beadseat so you probably have 5" rims. I attached a video of a totally different wheel, the # TA52FR. If you watch this video at the 1:32 mark, Jeff will demonstrate how to measure a wheel. This video is only included for that purpose, as it is NOT a wheel that is the right size for you.
The part Taskmaster ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" White Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # TA53VR would be a great tire/wheel combination option for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
