The information I could find shows the 1965 Shasta Compact 13 would have come with 14" wheels like the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20304. The tire size at the time would have been a F78-14 which would be a Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # LHCK201 with todays sizing. The conventional steel wheel will allow for a Baby Moon Wheel Cover # AM90086 in keeping with the retro look of the Shasta.

Be sure to check the fitment in the event any of the running gear on your trailer has been updated since it was made.

Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel # AM20304, 14" x 5-1/2" Rim, 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, +0.5" offset, 2.62" pilot hole.

Castle Rock ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # LHCK201, outer diameter 26.14", section width 7.99".

I have a 1958 Shasta compact. I measured the distance between bolts from the center and it turns out to be 4 inches not 4.5 with four lugs. Are there rims that will fit the 4 inch spacing or is that considered 4.5. It’s a 13 inch tire. Thank you.

@David I'm guessing those are original hubs and wheels since the 5 on 4 bolt pattern isn't something that is around anymore. There are some 5 on 4 wheels out there but it isn't something that we carry. If the spindle has a modern bearing combination you could also swap out the hub so you have a 5 on 4-1/2 with more wheel options.

@David ok so 4 on 4. We do have 13" rims with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. Check out the link below.
