The largest positive offset 14 inch trailer rim is the part # AM20304 which has a 1/2 inch positive offset. Most trailer wheels have a zero offset or right at zero since it helps distribute the load of the trailer on the wheel.

This wheel also has a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

I attached a review video for this wheel for you to check out as well.
