Can 16 Inch Aluminum Trailer Wheel Replace 15 Inch Trailer Wheel
Question:
Can you tell me if these wheels will fit by 2022 Puma 315bhts fifth wheel. Currently it has 15 inch x 6, 6 lug on 5-1/2. Looking to upgrade to a nicer wheel. The wheel I am considering purchasing is a Aluminum that is 16 inch x 6, 6 lug on 5-1/2 inch

Expert Reply:
Since the bolt pattern is the same at 6 on 5-1/2", you can replace your 15 inch diameter wheel with the 16 inch diameter aluminum wheel:
- Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Silver Spoke # AX02660655BMMFL
The other thing to keep in mind is you will also need new, larger tires. For example, the Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10248 will fit that wheel, and when inflated measures 30.9" diameter and 9.4" wide, so that will be larger than the tire currently on your '22 Puma. So you will just want to make sure you have 3" of clearance from the top of the tire to your fender and at least 1" of clearance between the inside of the tire and your trailer's frame rail.
That is unlikely to be an issue but I did want to mention it. Then the only other thing you will need are lug nuts, the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN.
