Forest River's website does not provide tire specs for their 2019 Wildwood 263BHXL so to select an appropriate spare wheel/tire you'll want to check one of the OEM tires on the trailer to confirm its bolt pattern, size, type and load range (weight) rating. Your spare should always match your main tires.

You most likely have wheels with the popular 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern. You can confirm using the linked article on bolt patterns as a guide. The other article on tire sizes will help confirm the size, type and load range rating. Tires will have their size, type and load range indicated right on the sidewall; the load range rating will be indicated by a letter code.

Chances are pretty good that your trailer has size ST205/75R15 radial tires in load range D, such as Provider # TR20515D. Since the trailer has a GVWR of 7673-lbs each of its 4 tires would need to be able to handle about 2000-lbs. This Load Range D tire can handle 2150-lbs and it has a speed rating M, meaning it is good to 81-mph.

Please refer to the linked photo for an example of the size indication on a tire sidewall. Load range and speed ratings will also appear on the sidewall.
