Can 15 inch by 5 inch Width Trailer Wheel get Replaced with 6 inch Wide Wheel

Question:
My trailer originally has 15x5 wheels. I understand this wheel is an inch wider. Will it still work?

Hey Darrel, unless your trailer had some super tight clearances you would have no issues going from the 5 inch width of your current wheels to the 6 inch width of the part # AM20504 that you referenced. You need to have at least one inch between the trailer frame and the wheel and this wider wheel would take up an additional 1/2 inch.

Hey Darrel, how did the fit turn out with the 15x6 Dexstar wheel on your trailer? It’d be great to know if the extra width still gave you enough clearance. Your update could make it easier for the next person checking wheel sizes.
