Question:

I need to purchase a spare rim and tire for a Jet Ski Triton trailer. The current tire is a LoadStar K-353 4.80 x 12 C-rated. The rim is a 12x4.00 with a 5 on 4 1/2 lug pattern. I think your part number AM30670 or AM30660 are the correct units for a spare but dont know what some of the specs you list mean. For example, the pilot diameter of 3.19. Is the AM30660 or 30670 the correct spare?

Expert Reply:

You are on the right track. Either the # AM30660 or the # AM30670 would work fine for you. The AM30660 features a white powder coat finish, while the AM30670 has a galvanized finish. It would be up to your individual preference as to which wheel is better for you.

The 3.19 pilot diameter refers to the hole in the center of the wheel that the hub grease cap passes through. The section width refers to the distance from the widest point of the outer sidewall to the widest point of its inner sidewall.

I will include a link to our tire and wheel FAQ, which contains other helpful information.
