Will Taskmaster Wheel Fit 95 Inch Axle

Question:

Hi just wondering if these rims would work on a 95 hubface/80 spring center axel. Just wondering because there is no backspace measurement. Also would a LT 215/85 r16 tire mount ok on this rim.thanks

On any of the wheels we offer, there is zero offset if nothing is noted. This means it has the same distance from the front and back lip of the rim to the center that meets the hub. If you are staying with the same size wheel on your trailer, you should have no issues with back spacing by using part # TA55VR.

You will want to make sure you match the wheel bolt pattern of a wheel with the hub bolt pattern on your trailer. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure the bolt pattern.

We offer three 16 inch radial tires but they are not the same size you mentioned. The LT tire you mentioned is designed for light trucks and we do not recommend using a light truck tire on a trailer if it is carrying any weight. Trailer tires like the part # AM10501 we offer are labeled ST235/85R16. ST stands for Special Tire, which means it has a stiffer sidewall and designed to be able to carry more weight than a vehicle tire.

The other two 16 inch tires we offer are part # AM10248 and part # AM10295. I have attached some helpful articles that explain trailer tire and wheel sizes you can check out.

If you are changing the tire and wheel size on your trailer, let me know what your old tire and wheel size is and I can let you know what the difference in size would be.
