Question:

Hi, Im interested in purchasing a set of your 16inch Dexstar wheels for my late model Airstream in the interest of getting a better quality tire and for a more vintage look. I would really like to also install a set of your baby moon hubcaps as well, but am not certain that theyll fit the 16inch wheel nubs. Is that something you can help me figure out? Thanks a million.

The Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel, part # AM20758 you referenced is a 16 X 6 inch rim and has a 6 on 5-1/2 wheel bolt pattern.

We do offer 2 tires that would fit this wheel as well. The first I recommend is the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire , part # AM10501. This is a load range F radial tire that has a maximum load capacity of 3,960 lbs at 95 psi.

For a load range E tire I recommend part # AM10295. it has a maximum capacity of 3,640 at 95 psi.

The Baby Moon wheel covers we offer are limited to wheel sizes up to 15 inches and would not fit the 16 inch wheels you asked about.

I have attached some helpful articles you can check out about wheels and tires.
