Expert Answers about Chevrolet Boat Trailer Wheels

• Is There a Difference Between a Boat Trailer Wheel and a Car Trailer Wheel
• We categorize our wheels just based off of what they are typically used for and how good their corrosion resistance is. For example, the Aluminum Liger Trailer Wheel # LH39FR you're looking at is a great option for a boat trailer or a car trailer because it has a sleek look but is also made of aluminum so water exposure will be less likely to corrode this over a standard steel wheel with a powder coat finish. As long as the wheel size and bolt pattern match what you're needing you can...

• Can You Use Aluminum Boat Trailer Wheels On a Toy Hauler?
• Yes. The Aluminum Hi-Spec trailer wheel # AM20516 can be used on a toy hauler as well as a boat trailer. Aluminum wheels are preferred on boat trailers because of aluminum's natural resistance to corrosion; as long as they are within the weight capacity of your trailer, you'll have no issues using them.

• Recommended 13 Boat Trailer Wheel with 5 Lug Bolt Pattern
• We have all of our wheels marked under the "boat trailer" section since you can technically use any wheel for a boat trailer. The Steel Directional Trailer Wheel # AM48VR will do okay at resisting rust but if that chrome finish ever chips any exposed steel will begin to rust, yes. Your next best option is the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20234 because it has a galvanized finish that will resist rust better than the chrome finish. The best option to resist rust and corrosion is an aluminum...

• Will Kenda 5.70-8 Tire & Wheel With 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Work For Boat Trailer
• Yes, for your boat trailer with 5.70-8 tires with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern you can absolutely use the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D # AM30155. The white wheels on this combo will work with a boat trailer, but I do recommend considering the same option but with galvanized wheels.

• Can Ultra-Fab Wheel Stabilizers Be Used For Boat Trailer
• The Ultra-Fab Chock and Lock Wheel Stabilizers, part # UF21-001070 would work great for a boat trailer. These stabilizers are designed for tandem-axle trailers and RVs, so if your boat trailer has tandem axles they would help keep the trailer stable and prevent rocking when parked. You simply place them between the wheels and expand them until they are secure. You can use padlocks like part # RM-302 with the wheel stabilizers to deter theft.

• Will the 15x6 Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel Work On a Ranger Trail Boat Trailer with 15x7 Wheels
• Yes, the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel part # LHSL311 will work perfectly on your boat trailer. The wheel width is indeed 1" narrower but this won't be an issue at all as the tire will still be the same width and it will work on both wheels no problem. Therefore, the overall width of the new wheel and old tire will be basically the same as the old wheel and old tire so you won't have issues.

• Can 175/80-13 Tires be Upgraded to Different Size to Carry a 4,000 lb Boat
• As long as you have the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern for your hubs then you could fit a larger tire and wheels like the 15" Aluminum Wheel # AM22653 and the Castle Rock ST225/75R15 Radial Tire # 274-000029. You will need to check the dimensions to see if you have room. This Wheel has a load range of D (2,150 lbs at 65 psi) which will be able to handle your 4,000 lb boat plus an extra 300 lbs.

• Increasing Wheel and Tire Size On a Shorelander Boat Trailer With 4.80-8" Wheels And Tires
• Yes, as long as you have sufficient clearance for the larger wheel and tires you will be able to use the larger wheels. Do understand that as this is a boat trailer you will have to back further into the water with the taller tires to launch and retrieve your boat. Your current wheel and tire # AM30030 is 4.6" wide and 16.1" tall. The Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670 is going to be 4.9" wide(0.3" wider) and 20.7" tall(4.6" taller). You will want...

• Recommended Replacement for Boat Trailer with ST205/75R14 Tires
• The load range of the ST205/75R14 tires you choose will need to be sufficient for the weight of both your boat and trailer. You can determine this by weighing both the boat and trailer then finding the capacity of the tire and multiplying that by the number of tires on the trailer. The weight capacity of the tires will need to be greater than the weight of the boat/trailer. For example, if you choose a load range B tire then the weight of the boat/trailer cannot exceed 2,860 lbs for a...

• Aluminum Jaguar Trailer Wheel With 215/75R14 Tire For a Nitro Boat Trailer
• Yes, the Aluminum Jaguar Trailer Wheel # LHSJ211G is a great choice for a boat trailer. As this is an aluminum wheel it will not rust or corrode like a steel wheel when it is in contact with water. You will need to pair a Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10229 with an Aluminum Jaguar Trailer Wheel # LHSJ211G as we currently do not offer this Jaguar wheel with a 215/75-14 tire already mounted.
