Expert Answers about Kia Boat Trailer Wheels


  • Can Boat Wheels Be Used To Replace The Wheels On a Camper?
  • The wheels on our site that are categorized as boat wheels mean that they have corrosion resistant properties that make them better suited for boat trailer. Yes, you can use boat wheels for your camper. The Kenda ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" HWT Aluminum Wheel # AM34969B that you were looking at has a wheel that is consider a boat wheel on our site. This is due to the aluminum construction and aluminum being rustproof and corrosion resistant.

  • Choosing Between White Painted Wheel And Galvanized Wheel For Boat Trailer
  • For a boat trailer, the best finish is going to be galvanized. The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM30120 that you were looking at may work fine, but I don't recommend it for boat trailers since the wheels will see a lot of water. The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM30130 is going to hold up better and resist rust better than the white painted wheel. I attached a demonstration video for you...

  • Replacement 14 Inch Black Modular Trailer Wheel
  • We classify boat trailer wheels as those that have more corrosive resistance than a standard steel wheel. Primarily aluminum and galvanized wheels. But anything that we call a "boat trailer" wheel can be used on other trailers and a boat trailer can use another wheel. The 14 inch black modular wheel we carry is # AM20315 which has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and is rated up to 2,040 pounds per wheel. It does have an e-coat primer and black powder coat finish which has some resistance...

  • What Makes a Wheel Rated for Use on a Boat Trailer
  • The Steel Modular Trailer Wheel part # AM20365 has a white powder coated finish. It can still be used on a boat trailer but it will not hold up well in due time. Boat trailer wheels are frequently submerged in both fresh and saltwater applications which makes them much more prone to rust and corrosion. Rust and corrosion will not only take the finish off of the wheel but it will also corrode the bead seat which will cause the tire to leak air. Instead, I recommend going with a wheel that...

I attached a review video link below.

  • Determining Safe Weight Capacity for Trailer Wheels
  • In order to determine if the rating is safe you need to know the weight of the boat as well as the trailer. If you have wheels with a capacity of 1,800 lbs per wheel that means you do not want to exceed 3,600 lbs assuming your boat trailer has two wheels. Since you know the loaded weight of your boat is 2,600 lbs you have nothing to worry about as long as your trailer does not weight more than 1,000 lbs. It would also be a good idea to make sure that your wheel and tire are rated for at...

  • 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.

  • Why Is Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Tire w/ Galvanized Wheel Listed as a Boat Trailer Tire
  • The Kenda Karrier st205/75R14 Radial Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM32156 can absolutely be used on a car hauler. The only reason we label it as a boat trailer wheel is because of the corrosion resistance of the galvanized wheel, which makes it a great option for a boat trailer that sees a lot of moisture but certainly doesn't limit it to that application. This tire and wheel will work great as a replacement as long as it gives you the proper combined load capacity for the weight...

  • Can Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 White Wheel be Used on Boat Trailer
  • The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H480 can be used on a boat trailer. A better option for a boat trailer might be a wheel that has a galvanized finish like the part # AM3H490 since it will hold up better to corrosion since the boat trailer will get backed into water.

  • Is there a Difference Between Boat Tire and Wheel Assemblies Over Standard Ones?
  • Yes, there is and it's the wheels. Boat trailer wheels like the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel item # AM31952 have galvanized wheels that are designed to be used in the water. They won't rust like the steel wheel on the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel item # AM31951 you were looking at. Both of these wheel tire combos have the exact same ST175/80R13 tire with a load range of C item # AM10199. Both have 5 on 4-1/2 lug patterns....

  • Recommended 14 Inch Trailer Wheel for Dual Axle Pontoon Boat Trailer
  • Since you are towing a boat trailer, I would recommend a galvanized wheel like # AM20354. This wheel is 6" wide and has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. You will want to make sure that your bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2". I have included a FAQ article on determining the bolt pattern of your wheel. I have included a video review of this trailer as well as a link to all of the wheels that we carry that are a fit for your boat trailer. For a wheel/tire combination check out # AM32156.

  • Parts Needed for Converting 8" Wheels On CE Smith Multi Sport Trailer from 8" to 12" Wheel and Tire
  • Yes, you can change the wheels on the CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48810 from 8" to 12". This would give you a trailer like the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870. To complete the conversion you will need 2 of the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30590 and 2 of the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders # CE17701G to move to the larger tires.

  • Galvanized Wheel and Spare Tire for a Boat Trailer
  • The reason it says not to put it on a boat trailer is because the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire item # AM32161 you referenced is on a steel wheel. For a spare tire that is better suited for a boat trailer I recommend the Loadstar ST205/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel item # AM3S450. Aside from the load rating and it being a galvanized wheel you are looking at an identical tire and wheel combo. This would be a better spare tire for your boat and it is a little...

  • Can Trailer Wheel Designated for Boat Application be Used on Fifth Wheel
  • While we don't mount tires to wheels here I believe you are asking if the wheels we offer listed for boat trailers on a 5th wheel camper. The answer to that is yes, we just organize some of our wheels as great options for specific applications but in reality none of them are specifically designed for either.

  • 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...

  • Can Dexstar Mini Mod Trailer Wheel AM20545 Be Used On Boat Trailer
  • The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel part # AM20545 can be used on a boat trailer but since you said the trailer will be launched in the ocean an aluminum wheel would be a better solution since it won't corrode. The Aluminum HWT 07 part # AM20456 is same size and wheel bolt pattern, is aluminum and looks really nice.

  • Recommended Spare Wheel/Tire for Boat Trailer with 215/75-14 Tires
  • The Loadstar ST215/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel part # AM3S582 is the correct spare wheel/tire for your boat trailer. In order to mount this on the trailer, you can use the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier part # FHDSTC0101. I was able to verify your order to get the exact wheel/tire you purchased last year.
