Thanks for the purchase of the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS02 with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which will be a great addition for your trailer; we definitely have wheels and tires that will be a perfect match.

You will need a wheel with a matching 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and I also recommend going with a bias tire because they have stiffer sidewalls than radial tires, meaning it is going to hold up better for off-road applications like yours. What you can use is the following:

- Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15" Aluminum Wheel # AM3S913

This tire and wheel combo will work with your hub and the tire has a load range of D with a 2,540 lb capacity when filled to 65 psi, which is going to be plenty of capacity for your 3,500 lb Timbren system. When inflated the tire will measure 28.3" in diameter and 8" wide and they have a speed rating of 81 mph, so even though they are bias tires that can be used when going off-road, you don't have to drive at a snail's pace to get to your off-roading destination.

We do not carry tires with off-road treads (apart from some small tire/wheel combos that were made for golf carts) so those would need to be sourced elsewhere, although you can still get the appropriate wheels for your hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. The tires you get would only need to fit the diameter and width of the wheel. For wheels you only need ones with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and you can choose the style you want, such as: - Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - Black Powder Coat # AM20514 - Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" Rim - Silver # LHSL311 - Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - Black Spoke # AX02560655BML I have added a link to a video review of these wheels as well as a link to our selection of wheels that fit a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.
