Can Trailer Tire Size 235/75-17.5 Fit Same Wheel as 215/75-17.5
Updated 02/21/2024 | Published 02/19/2024
Question:
Hi, We have LionsHead wheels on our2022 Riverstone 39RBFL Legacy 5th Wheel. It has 215/75R17.5 H rated tires. I am looking to change to a 235/75R17.5 J rated tire. The clearance on the trailer of the slightly larger tire is fine. What I am trying to find out is if I have to change the LionsHead wheels. My tire shop says I dont have to but I was trying to find out. LionsHead wont talk to a consumer and Forest River wont answer the question either. Thanks Mark Crossman

Your current wheel size is compatible with the larger size you are wanting to go to with 235/75-17.5. We have a Load Range J in this size with the part # P35175 that would work great too Mark.
