The Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # TA49RR is the correct wheel for mounting a ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10130. Do note this wheel has the most common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and you will want to verify that is the correct bolt pattern for your popup camper. We do offer the following wheel and tire packages already mounted but to go with the wheel you found you will need to have the tires mounted at a local installer.
