Question:

I recently purchased a 2000 Nitro CDX 901 with a Nitro Dual Axel Trailer. The trailer doesnt have a spare. My question is would the Dexstar Conventional Wheel - 16inch x 6inch Rim - 6 on 5 1/2 - Black Powder Coat fit on my trailer? It would appear that I have a similar looking wheel on the trailer right now with a ST215/75R14 steel belted radial tire on it but Im not 100 sure.

Expert Reply:

The 14 inch tire on your boat trailer is most likely a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. You will need a 14 inch wheel to match the other wheels on your trailer. I have included a link to an FAQ that shows how to measure for bolt pattern. The wheel that you referenced, # AM20504, is a 15 inch wheel and it has an offset which is not all that common.

If you just want a wheel, # AM20352, is the most common. In the event that your wheels do have an offset, you would use # AM20304.

For a standard wheel with a tire, we have # AM32181 in a radial. These come with an ST215/75-14 tire. We do not have a tire and wheel combo that has an offset wheel so you would have to get the tire and wheel separately and have them mounted (if your trailer uses an offset wheel).

I have included a link to our tire and wheel main page where you can search by tire size, wheel size, and other parameters using the options on the left side of the page.
