Question:

I have a size 14 trailer rim with a 6 lug bolt pattern I can’t seem to find a spare rim so I could have a spare tire mounted.

The only thing that I can recommend is replacing your current wheels and tires with the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Mod Wheel # TA27VR. This is our smallest wheel and tire combination that has the 6 on 5-1/2" lug pattern and you will want to measure to ensure that it will still fit inside your fender. It looks like your 14" wheel that has 6 lugs is obsolete. I can not find anyone making a wheel in that size and lug pattern.

The 205/75R15 is going to be 1" taller in overall diameter, the width will be the exact same as your current tire. So you can measure 1/2" off your current tire tread to ensure that you will still have enough clearance. I like to see at least 1" clearance on the side walls and 3" vertical clearance so that the suspension has room to compress.
