Hello Shawn.
The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Series T09 Aluminum Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM34659 is a lug centric wheel.
However, it is not necessary to balance trailer wheels like you do with passenger vehicles as they do not use drive/steering axles. Trailer wheels are more designed to carry the weight of the trailer.
