16 inch Trailer Wheel with 6 Lug Bolt Pattern that Can Handle 110 PSI
Question:
I have an RV 5th wheel that currently has rims stamped for 3200# max. These are 16x6J steel wheels, 6 bolt current 10 ply tires. I plan to buy 14ply tires that will allow up to 3900# and even though I wont have that much weight on them I dont think my current rims will take the potential of 110lbs of PSI some of the 14ply tires rate. So my question is will these rims below be a good replacement in both size notice 1/2inch wider and allow 110 psi?. Or recommend one even with a 6 bolt pattern that can accomodate up to 110 psi?

Expert Reply:
As long as you install a valve stem like the part # AM20906 in the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20794 it would do just fine handling 110 psi.
Typically it is the valve stem that is the limiting factor for tire pressure on a wheel and the one I recommended would handle 110 psi without a problem.
