Hi Curt!

The Lionshead Aluminum Eagle Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - Glossy Black # LH48VR can handle the psi rating of any 16" tire you can throw at it, but the valve stem will be what dictates the max psi you can actually run. The one that come included with this wheel is rated up to 85 psi, so that is the highest you can run without upgrading the valve stem.

If you are wanting to run a heavier duty tire, you will want to swap the valve stems to the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem - 1-1/4" Long # AM20906. These are rated up to 200 psi and will handle any tire you can find that will fit a 16" wheel.

What kind of trailer/camper are you wanting to install these on? And do you have a tire picked out yet?
