Recommended Metal Valve Stem for Aluminum Jaguar Trailer Wheel

Question

Question:

I have this wheel on my 2022 grand design reflection 5th wheel, but in the silver color. Went to my local trailer dealer and wanted to put on metal valve stems. The 2 models he had would not fit as the valve stem is recessed and the valve stem nut will not fit in the recessed area. Do you have a metal valve stem that would fit this wheel?

Expert Reply:

For a metal valve stem that fits your Aluminum Jaguar Trailer Wheel you can use the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long # AM20906.

I have attached a picture showing what it will look like once installed on your wheels.

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
