Question:
Will this wheel and tire combination fit on my 2019 Coachman Catalina Legacy 323 RV travel trailer? The current tires are 225 75 R15 and rims have 6 lugs? Also, what lug nuts should I get with these? Will I need a center cap also?

Expert Reply:
The Westlake ST225/75R15 # LH36FR will definitely be a good replacement for your current tire and wheel set up. The 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern is the industry standard for 6 lug wheels on trailers, so that will not be a problem at all. With aluminum wheels, you do need to go with a longer lug nut due to the holes being recessed into the aluminum, so the Lionshead # LHLR103 will be the ones I suggest. These also do not include a center cap, so you will need to go with the Lionshead # LHCS108-SI60C for that. These have a center plug that is removable for easy access to the spindle if you have EZ-Lube fittings on the end of said spindles as well.
