Question:

My trailer tire says “ST205/75D-14” on it yet the galvanized wheel rim measures 15-3/8” in overall diameter... I need to replace the wheel ...is it a 15 or 14 inch wheel?? Its a 5 hole pattern 4.5 BC. Thanks

The 205/75-14 tire size indicates that it is for a 14 inch wheel. According to our resident tire expert, the listed diameter of a wheel is measured from bead to bead where the tire rests against the lip of the wheel. If you are measuring the face of the wheel, you have to account for the half inch or so of lip on each end.

Our tire expert went out to the warehouse and measured a 14 inch trailer tire and came up with the correct 14 inch diameter when measured in the location on the wheel indicated above. He then measured across the face and came up the same 15-3/8 measurement as you. So it sounds like you have the correct wheel.

We do have a galvanized wheel that is 14 inches in diameter and has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Take a look at the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel, # AM20354. This would be the correct wheel for your 205/75-14 tire.
