Spare Tire and Wheel for Homesteader Patriot Trailer with Tire Size 205/75-15

Question:

I have a 2017 Homesteader Patriot enclosed cargo trailer. I want to purchase a tire/wheel to have as a spare tire. The wheel that came with trailer is Dexstar 17-231-XX 15x5JJ, with a ST205/75/D15, will the AM32253DX Wheel and Tire Combo work as a replacement/spare tire for my trailer? Thanks

From a tire point of view the # AM32253DX matches perfectly as it comes with a ST205/75D15 just like what you have. The bolt pattern is a 5 on 5 inch which isn't the most popular bolt pattern but if that's what you have the wheel would bolt right up.

If instead you have the more popular 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # AM3S650 instead.

If you are unsure what bolt pattern you have you can measure from one stud on your hub to the one right next to it on center. If the distance is 3 inches then you have a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern. If instead it's 2-5/8 inches you have 5 on 4-1/2 inches.
