Question:
Im looking at your product listed as Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver. The wheels on my trailer are almost completely rusted through around the bolt pattern, so time to replace. Id already bought two tires and had them mounted on the rusty rims before I realized how rusty and weak they are. I have two new ST 215 75R 14 tires that I need to find new rims that they will fit properly on. Will those size tires fit well on these wheels?

Expert Reply:
The 215/75-14 sized tires on your trailer are designed to fit 14 inch wheels with widths of 5-1/2 inches, 6 inches, 6-1/2 inches or 7 inches. With this in mind, the Lionshead Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LHSL211 referenced in your question will work great with your existing tires. This wheel measures 14 inches x 5-1/2 inches and has a 3.19 inch pilot diameter.
This wheel features a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, so you will just want to make sure this matches what you currently have. I have attached an article that explains how to measure the bolt pattern. The wheel's aluminum construction is rustproof and it has a weight capacity of 2,040 pounds.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this wheel that you can also check out.
