Question:

I have a trailer, running gear was from an old horse trailer, since converted to a conventional trailer configuration. 15inch rim, 5 bolt pattern. Center to center of bolts is 3.25, pilot dimension is measured at 3.375inch any recommendation?

With a bolt hole measurement of 3-1/4 inches on a 5 bolt pattern that would mean you have a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. We have one wheel with that bolt pattern, # 560555SWA. This wheel has a pilot hole that measures 4-1/4 inches in diameter. If your existing wheels center on the hubs using wheel bolts and not lug nuts then this wheel will not work. If it uses lug nuts then you can use this wheel because having a larger pilot hole is fine.

With this wheel size you will need to use an ST205/75-15 tire size. We have 2 tires in this size. We have the
# AM1ST92 is a bias ply tire, load range C, rated for 1,820 pounds at 50 psi or the # AM10244 is a radial tire, load range C, rated for 1,820 pounds at 50 psi.

A tire and wheel combo with this tire and wheel size is not available. I have included some links to tire and wheel FAQs for you.
