Question:

I messed up asking the last question I need to know the shortest and widest trailer tire E rated I can get for a 15” rim and 16” rim so I can figure out what size rims and tires to get it’s for a triple axle #5200 5 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern

Expert Reply:

Is your bolt pattern a 6 on 5-1/2 inch or a 5 on 6-1/2 inch like you mentioned? I believe you are looking for 6 on 5-1/2 inch as that is the standard size.

For 15 inch tire sizes that would at least match your axle capacity you'd need to go with a 225/75-15 in the Load Range of E like the # AM32680 which has a width of 9.37 inch and a height of 28.4 inch diameter.

Then for the 16 inch size you'd want the 235/80-16 like # AM32764 which has a width of 9.37 inch and has an overall height of 31.6 inch.
