How Wide of a Rim is Recommended for the Tire Size ST225/75R15

Question

Question:

I just purchased a new trailer. The tire size is ST225/75R15. The wheels are 5 inches in width. Is this enough rim width?

For a wheel that is 5 inches in width and 15 inches in diameter you would want tires that are size ST205/75-15.

For the tire size ST225/75R15 you listed you would want a rim that is from 6-7 inches in width.

I attached a department page that has all of our tires that are that size. I also attached a page on trailer tire sizing that has a chart that show what tire sizes go with the different rim sizes.

Is an 8” GM rally wheel too much for a trans eagle 225/75/15 load range f radial ? Will the rim width compromise the integrity and/or functionality of the tire?

@CliffL well for one this tire isn't rated for use on a vehicle and its for a narrower wheel. It's hard to say exactly how it would perform though.

Answer 1

It sure will! A 225/75-15 tire will fit on a wheel that's 5, 6, 6-1/2, or 7 inches wide. I've linked to the 225/75-15 load range C, D and E tires we offer.

A 235/75R15 size tire will mount to a 15 inch wheel that features a width range of 6 to 8.50 inches. With this in mind, the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel #AM20545 that you referenced should work nicely with your off-road tires, as it features…

Answer 11

A 205/75-15 size tire can actually fit on a wheel from 5 to 6-1/2 inches wide. With that being said, it's generally better to go with the thinnest wheel your tire fits on because that puts the weight on the wheel in the most vertical position so…
