Question:
I recently purchased two Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial tired from etrailer. Upon installation, one of my rims was severely damaged on the inter side and I ordered a new Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 15inch x 6” Rim - 5 on 4-1/2. Unfortunately, I should have ordered a 15” x 5” rim but under the circumstances I had to use the new 6” width rim. My question is “will the one inch difference in rim width cause any real issues?” Thank you

Expert Reply:
Arlin, don't worry - those two wheels are virtually interchangeable. The 15" x 6" like # AM20522 is only ~1/2" wider than the 15" x 5" wheels like # AM20422 that you currently use, so the difference is negligible.
If there is anything else I can help you with feel free to leave a comment below and I'd be happy to help!
