Expert Reply:

The wheel size you have is a 16 inch diameter that is 7 inches wide which is not super common but we do have a coupler options like with the Aluminum Mod wheel part # LHJM513 that has a 3,750 lb or for a more interesting look we also have the Aluminum Eagle Wheel part # LH32FR which has a 4,080 lb capacity. Both of these have the same 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

I have a 2004 holiday rambler presidential 5th wheel. Just put a new set of g rated 4400 load rated blackhawk tires on The rv has 8 lug 6.5 center aluminum rims with I think a zero offset. Original rims, but 20 years old We traveled the last 3 days to the gulf shores for winter. Had flat today but tire was ok and rim had a crack on the face of the rim Tires were inflated to 110 psi cold when we started. Checked the psi when I noticed the low tire and the other 3 were about 130 psi coming off the highway. Too much pressure ???? What rim do you suggest. Higher rated rim ??? GVWR of 5th wheel is 17000 lbs. Not overloaded but close to that 17000 I can take some measurements of the pilot hole. Would prefer to put all 4 on being they are 20 years old. thank you for your opinion. Original rims rated at 3750 lbs

@GaryC Were you overloaded by chance? That's a really high pressure for normal circumstances so that typically indicates the tire was overloaded the speed rating was exceeded.

The gvwr is 17000 and it weighs 16540. I have always ran max psi cold that is stamped on tire. When i set psi cold the temp was somewhere in low 50's. Will take that down to about 100 psi cold and set them at a higher ambient temp. What rim do you recommend for me to buy. I can take a pic of mine and take some measurements also

@Gary What is the tire size you have currently? I see you listed the bolt pattern but I am not totally sure what tire size you have now to be able to pick out a replacement wheel. Are you wanting something similar in design to what you have now or wanting to go a different route?

Why is the eagle over 50$ dollar cheaper if it can carry more weight??? And what tire you recommend that can support 6500lbs on two wheels that running gravel and some Fsr etc

@SteveA Pricing is odd and I won't pretend to know exactly why one wheel that seems more expensive would be cheaper. I know there's an algorithm that affects it and it is based on availability and how many we have in stock. For a tire I like the Westlake part # LHWL401 which has a 3,500 lb capacity per tire so you'd have the weight you mentioned covered and then some and it has a more aggressive tread pattern that would work well in gravel. It also comes with a complimentary 2 year roadside assistance program.

@SteveA Are you wheel studs designed for a 5/8 inch diameter lug nut? If so, we don't have anything that matches that criteria. In the 16 inch wheel size the biggest lug nut option we have is 9/16 inch.
