• Replacement 13 Inch Trailer Tire Needed for Old Utility Trailer With 4 Lug Bolt Pattern

• Can I Determine the psi Rating of a Wheel
  Since wheels will be able to withstand the psi rating of any of the tires that are meant to fit it you will need to look at the valve stem as that is the deciding factor. If your valve stem has the rubber all the way up to the threads, like part # AM20903, then it will be rated around 65 psi. If there is some reinforcement between the rubber and the threads, like part # AM20904 or # AM20907, then your valve stem can be rated between 80 and 100 psi. The only valve stems that are rated for...

• Can I Replace Bolt-On Spindle With Weld-On Spindle
  I can definitely help you out with some replacement parts fir your older boat trailer but you're going to need to go with a whole new setup for 2 reasons; the first is that we get all the correct parts, and the second is that replacements parts are easier to find in the future.

• Recommended Replacement Wheels for 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  Thank you for the photo of your old wheel. That is extremely helpful in this case.To answer your main question, the measurement of the bolt pattern is going to be the most important factor in replacing the wheels on your trailer. The hub bore dimension won't be an important consideration since most wheels now are lug centric-meaning that they're centered and supported by the lug studs on your wheel. With that being said, it looks like you have an old Dexstar 17-384 wheel that has a 5...

• Upgrading 205/75-15 Tires on 2007 Rockwood Ultralight Travel Trailer
  I do have a solution for you, however, upgrading to larger tires isn't an option. We recommend at least 3-4 inches of clearance between the top of the tire and the fenders and at least 1-2 inches between the side wall and inside of the wheel well. This is necessary to allow for proper suspension articulation, especially when driving on a bumpy road or going over a pot hole. With this in mind, I do not recommend putting larger tires on your travel trailer, but instead using one with a higher...

• Do Tire Valve Stems Come Included with Tires That Are Purchased Unmounted
  Tires that are sold alone, not pre-mounted on a rim/wheel, do not include valve stems but we do offer these as separate items. Tires that are pre-mounted and sold with a rim/wheel do of course include the valves.

• Where Is the PSI Rating for a Trailer Wheel Located At On the Wheel
  The pressure or psi rating of a trailer wheel will come from the valve stem. They do not really rate the wheel itself to a certain psi rating as the limiting factor will always be the valve stem. If you are running tires that required under 65 psi then you can use part # AM20903 but for anything over 65 psi you would want to use part # AM20906.

• Recommended 205/75-15 Tire on 6-Lug Galvanized Wheel
  I can certainly set you up with a 205/75-15 tire and a galvanized 15 x 6 rim with a 6 lug on 5-1/2 inch bolt circle, however our suppliers don't sell this as a combination and we don't have the facilities here to mount the tire to the wheel so we'd have to sell them separately and you would need to have the tires mounted to the wheels locally. You'd also need the # AM20903 valve stems. For a wheel, I'd go with the # AM20534. For a load range C radial tire, ST205/75-15 I'd recommend the...
