Question:

I have a Prime Time Crusader 29 will the TA75FR wheels work with this unit? My hub have 6 on 5-1/2 and 1/2 x 20 studs. Im not sure what my back spacing is. You state these wheels have 3-1/2. I want to up grade to 16 wheel and tire. My unit as of now weights 14440 lb.

Hi Andy; the Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # TA75FR will fit your Prime Time Crusader 29. The bolt pattern matches what you have now, and you have the right wheel bolts which is what matters the most for a wheel. I wouldn't worry about the backspacing too much. However, you do need to be aware of clearance issues with whatever tires you add.

I wasn't able to find any information on your current wheel and tire size but moving up a size or two generally means a loss of clearance. You will want to measure your current tires and compare it to the tires you're getting. A minimum of 3" on top and 2" on the inside of the tire is required for proper clearance to allow for suspension travel.

For example, a tire like the Provider ST235/80R16 # TTWTRTM2358016E has an outer diameter of 30.79" and section width of 9.25". An ST205/75R15 tire like the # AM10245 has an outer diameter of 27.3" and an 8.1" section width. Moving to the larger tire will result in a loss of 0.575" on the inside and 1.745" on top of the tire. As long as you still have enough clearance you can move to the larger size.
