Question:

Im looking to get a spare wheel and tire for my trailer. I have ST175/80D13 tires with RIM =5 on the tire. I have a 5 on 4.5 inch bolt pattern. I was looking at this wheel but it appears to be only rim=4.5 Will this work for me or is there a better wheel to buy?

Expert Reply:

Since you have bias ply tires currently on your trailer I would recommend you stick with a bias ply as a spare. The part # AM31957 would work for you as it is the same tire size and bolt pattern even though the rim is 1/2 inch thinner.

Instead I would recommend the part # AM3S050 as it comes with a bias ply tire like what you have.

I attached an FAQ on trailer tires for you to check out as well.

For a spare tire carrier you might also be interested in the CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers # CE22007Z-11050-2.
