Question:

Good evening, looking at purchasing these products for my pop up camper Westlake ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C and Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13 x 4-1/2 Rim - 4 on 4 - Black. My current wheel is 5.30-12 with a 4 blot axle/lug nut pattern. I have 4 to 5inches of clearance to the sidewalls. Do you think I could add this tire and wheel combo and still have enough clearance? Let me know if you need more information. Thanks

Hey Michael, so the tire size of 185/80-13 is going to be 1.1 inches wider than the size you have now so based on the amount of clearance you mentioned the part # LHWL101 would easily fit without clearance issues.
