Question:
Thanks for your reply. You tell me that the unit does not come with metal valve stems but my question is can I have them installed before shipping or do they need to be installed somewhere else? Thanks.

All of our wheel/tire combos come pre-balanced to an extent. The heavy spot on the wheel is aligned with the light spot on the tire to create a balance that is sufficient for use on trailers. They are not completely balanced and will need to be taken to a reputable shop to be zeroed out should you choose but the light/heavy spot method will be more than sufficient for most trailers.
The Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel part # A225R645WM does not come with a metal valve stem but you can add one using part # AM20906. A 225/75-15 tire is going to be 1.2" larger in diameter and .8" larger in width than a 205/75-15. As long as you have this much room and then some to allow for suspension travel they they will work for you. You will also need to take load rating into consideration which for the above combo is 2,540 lbs per tire.
I have attached a review video on the above wheel/tire for you as well.
