Tire Size ST175/80R13 Load C Compatibility With 4.5 Inch Wide Wheel Rims

Question

Question:

I currently have a ST175/80R13 LOAD C, tire and it says its for a 5 wide rim. I know nothing about tires and rims, so will this tire fit on a 4.5 wide rim? Thank you in advance for the assistance.

The Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31994 is the tire size and load range you mentioned. It is confirmed to fit wheels 4-1/2 inches wide. Manufacturer make can change so I can't confirm your tires an wheels will fit. However, all of our wheel and tire combinations for this tire size is used with 13x 4.5 wheels.
