Expert Reply:

Most of the 2-5/16 inch hitch balls will use either a 1-inch diameter shank or 1-1/4 inch diameter shank. The nut size on a hitch ball with a 1-1/4 inch shank, like the Tow Ready 2-5/16 Inch Hitch Ball, part # 19286, will use a 1-7/8 inch socket. A 2-5/16 inch hitch ball with a 1 inch shank will use a 1-1/2 inch socket.

The torque specs on a hitch ball with a 1-inch diameter shank is 250 ft. lbs and on a 1-1/4 inch diameter shank is 450 ft. lbs

Hey Kris, sorry for the confusion. The Kenda ST235/75R15 Radial Off-Road Trailer Tire #KE68JR can be used with 15" x 6" rims and 15" x 5" rims. So you will be fine to use these tires with the 15x5 wheels you already purchased.
