Question:
Im interested in your Kenda Karrier KR53 ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16 Black Aluminum Wheel - 8 on 6-1/2. I have a 2000 Charmac gooseneck stock trailer I just purchases with terrible looking rims. My question is how do I know if I need an offset or if these rims will work? Thanks, Steve

Hey Steve! You almost certainly have wheels with 0 offset on that trailer. However, if you really want to be sure you can measure. If it is 0 offset the distance from the wheel centerline to the front and the back will be equal. All of our wheels and tires in this size like the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST235/80R16 # KE83JV, and the Strider ST235/80R16 # TA27AR you went ahead and ordered, have 0 offset unless they're for a dually setup.

Hey Steve, how did the Strider tire and wheel combo work out on your Charmac trailer? It sounds like the 0 offset setup should have matched well. Your update could make it easier for the next person checking their trailer’s fit.
