How to Pick Out Replacement Rims for a Utility Trailer
Question:
I have a utility trailer with 15 inch ford wheels. Can I use 16 or even 17 inch wheels instead?? Is the bolt pattern the same?? thank you

Expert Reply:
I can't safely recommend you use vehicle rims on a utility trailer. I would strongly recommend you replace what you have with rims and tires designed for trailer use. Especially since you are considering replacing them anyway.
First thing you want to do is determine the bolt pattern of your current wheels, check out the help article I attached that details how to do this.
Once you figure out what bolt pattern you have check out the other link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of our wheels/tire we offer. You will want to select your bolt pattern from the filters and all of the wheels we offer that will fit will be listed. You can then select from the wheel diameter filter the size of rim you would like.
