Question:

I have a damaged Lionshead Liger 15x6 with 5 lugs 4.5. The tire is a goodyear endurance st205/75R15. You sell the Liger 15x5 rim 5 lug 4.5 rim. I know the st 205/75R15 will fit rims from 5-6.5 according to Goodyear. My question is can I use one 15 x 5 rim while the others are 15 x 6? Also, what is the max air pressure the Liger 15x5 rim is rated for? My RV states to inflate the tire to 65psi.

You'll have no problems using the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel - 15" x 5" Rim # LH34FR to replace your damaged 15" x 6" version. The tire will still fit just fine as they work on a range of different wheel widths, however since the wheel is 1" narrower overall that tire will sit 1/2"~ in from the others.

The wheel does not have a max PSI rating, that's dictated by the valve stem, and the included valve stem is rated to 65 PSI so you'll be just fine.
