Thanks for reaching out Kurt. I appreciate you including your VIN. Unfortunately, we don't have a reliable way to use the VIN to identify the specific replacement wheels and tires installed on your Sandpiper. From what I was able to find, your Sandpiper was originally equipped with ST235/80R16 tires. This tire size can fit 16" wheels that are 6" or 7" wide, so you have several replacement options.

Based on the Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH32FR you were looking at, it appears you have an 8-lug setup, so I'll stick with 16" wheel options using the same bolt pattern. Before ordering, please verify the bolt pattern and tire size I'm working off of is correct, especially since Sandpiper configurations can vary by model and year.

Aluminum Modular Trailer Wheel # LHJM513
Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH39FR
Aluminum Sendel Series T02 Machined Trailer Wheel # AM22662
Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel # LH68VR
Aluminum Margay Trailer Wheel # LH78VR
Aluminum AM03 Series Black Machined Trailer Wheel # AM43NR
Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # TA38AR

Are you only looking at replacing your wheels right now or are you considering upgrading your tires as well?

Red rims very quickly. The tires I have are 8 lug ST235/85 R16. The tag says for Rims 16x 6. OJ? Does that help? Thanks for responding will wait to hear from you. Thanks Kurt

@KurtS The wheels listed above will fit your ST235/85 R16 tire as well. It will take a 6 or 7 inch wide rim. Are you just looking at wheel for now or tires as well?

Do these come with lug nuts? If not do you have 32 that would go with the AMO3 rims?

@ChristopherH The Aluminum AM03 Series Black Machined Trailer Wheel # AM43NR does not come with lug nuts. Do you know if your lug nuts are 1/2" or 9/16". With 16" wheel, it could go either way. Your also going to want to pick up valve stems unless you plan on reusing yours. I'd go with the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906.

Hey Dean. We've got quite a few aluminum 16" wheels with a 8 lug pattern like the Margay Trailer Wheel item #LH78VR. However, if you're needing a replacement wheel that matches the others on your 2021 Forest River Sabre, I'll need…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

Answer 6

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

Hi Craig! Thanks for the pictures! ^___^ The Americana Aluminum Trailer Wheel - Split Spoke - 15" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2" #AM63FV is very very similar to the Sendel T03 wheel. To the point of not being able to tell them apart, to be…
