Question:

I have a 2018 Montana 3791RD. I would like to upgrade from a 16 8 bolt wheel to a 17 8 bolt wheel. This will allow me to go from current G rated tires to better quality light truck tires that are H rated. Do you have the wheels or know where I can obtain them? Thanks

I have another option for you, but there really isn't options for a 17" wheel with the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern that your 2018 Montana 3791RD has.

Your best option is going to be going with a 17-1/2" wheel like # 274-000006 that'll let you use higher rated tires such as the Westlake 215/75R17.5 # LHWL097 which has a massive 4,805lb capacity per tire.

You'll need to make sure your trailer has enough clearance for these, as they measure in at 30.2" tall, so if you can send me your current tire size I'd be happy to help you figure out how much clearance you'll need.
