Hello Stuart, thanks for getting in touch. We have a great option for you. According to the Dexstar catalogue, the 17-228 is a silver mod wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and no offset. We have a very similar silver mod wheel from Taskmaster, as well as a tire for you. Here is what I recommend:
- Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver # TA79RR
- Rambler ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # TA89GR
We do not offer this tire and wheel as a pre-mounted combo, so you will need to have a shop mount it. Feel free to leave a reply below with any other questions or comments and I am happy to get back to you.
