Hey Greg, yes the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 04 Star Mag Trailer Wheel # AM20258 that you referenced would work with a Load Range E tire ST175/80R13 like you mentioned.

Hello James, My mistake the PSI is actually 80 not 70. Are the 13” rims good for 80 PSI? Thank you! Greg

@GregM Yes they are. The limiting factor would actually be the valve stem though and not the wheel.

@JamesonC Hello James I do need to order high pressure valve stems. Regarding the rubber 100 PSI snap in valve stems, what length do you recommend for these alloy rims 1 1/4” or 1 1/2”? Thank you! Greg McKinney

@Greg The 1-1/4 inch long part # AM20906 would work great for you and it has the higher psi rating you need as well.

I am also interested in the trailer wheel AM20258. Many rims have their PSI rating stamped on the wheel... does this one and if it does what is the PSI ? Also I have a Carlisle tire ST175/80R13 8 ply. It inflates to 65 PSI... Do I need to be concerned with the valve stem and if so what is the recommendation for this tire ? Walt

@WaltD the # AM20258 that you referenced is only going to be limited PSI-wise by the valve stem that you use it with as that is the limiting factor. If you didn't want to worry about that at all we have the Americana valve stem part # AM20906 which is rated for well over 100 psi so it would work great with 65 psi.
