Replacement for 6.70-15 Tire and Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern

Question:

Ok I am looking for a replacement for a 6.70 15 tire and wheel. I understand that a 205/75-15 tire will work but I need it with a negative offset and a 5 lug 4.5 bolt pattern. You have A15R55WS but that has a 5 on 5 pattern. My concern is the width of the 205/75-15 which is about 1 inch wider than the 6.70-15. Right now it's 1-3/4 inches from the back of the tire to the frame

Since clearance is an issue, the best solution would be to get a wheel that is smaller than 15 inches in order to accommodate a tire that is not as wide as the 205/75-15 tires.

I recommend the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM31994

These wheels have ST175/80R13 tires, which are going to be only slightly wider than your current tires so clearance won't be an issue, and the 13-inch diameter wheel should not be an issue for you.
