We have basically exactly what you are looking for with part # AM32352. This is a 5 on 4-1/2 inch conventional wheel with the tire size 205/75-15 mounted on it with a pilot diameter of 2.62 inch and can have baby moon covers like part # AM90086 installed.

What our tire manufacturers will do typically is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine). You'd need to check the tire pressure and inflate to the max PSI listed on the sidewall of 50 psi.

Answer 1

If the inside of your trailer tire is rubbing against the frame on your trailer then you can either get a new trailer axle that has a larger hub-face measurement or get slightly smaller tires. The easier solution would be to swap out your tires for…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Narrower tires and rims will certainly help you pick up some side clearance for fitting your boat trailer into your garage. A wheel with positive offset will also help by shifting the wheel's center closer to the trailer frame. Since you have…

The wheel used on the #AM32395 Karrier 205/75-15 wheel doesn't have the retention clips or nubs stamped into it that would hold a hubcap in place (see photo). I have some options for you though. A conventional steel wheel like what's provided…

The slight gap you see is normal. The drum is not supposed to make contact with the brake mounting plate. There are some instances when mixing brands of brakes, hubs, and axles, that won't line up properly but in this case it is normal. I did…

Answer 6

Trailer wheel and tires like the part #AM32545 do not get balanced as it really doesn't make a difference and most of the time the weights just get bounced off due to the rougher suspension on trailers compared to vehicles. So if you wanted to…

Answer 7

You can pretty easily go from a 205/75-14 to a 15 inch tire size like 205/75-15 like with the #AM32395 without clearance issues. This will give you a slightly larger wheel and tire which will have a higher weight capacity. So you might gain a slight…

In terms of speed rating the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire is certainly superior to the Kenda Karrier #AM10235, as it features an 87 mph maximum speed (compared to 81 mph on the Kenda). Based on your question, where it seems like…

Answer 9

I went and pulled a Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel #AM32424 from our warehouse to determine the weight capacities and found that on the sidewall it was stamped Load Range D with a 2,150 lb capacity at 65…

Answer 10

Long story short, yes you can. But going with the ST205/75R14 would be a better replacement than a ST205/75D14 because the R in the first size means it is a radial tire whereas the D in the second size means it is a bias ply. The main difference…

Answer 11

First we would need to determine what trailer wheel size you would need before we can find a baby moon hubcap that would fit it. The first thing you will need to determine is the bolt pattern of the hubs you have on your trailer. To do this check out…
