A special trailer tire in size 235/85-16 can mount on a 16-inch diameter rim of several different widths, 6-, 6-1/2, 7- or 7-1/2-inches.

On the page I linked for you are all 16-inch aluminum trailer rims which are available in these different widths. These rims are offered in two wheel bolt patterns, 6-on-5-1/2 as with HWT Aluminum Split Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM22658HWT and 8-on-6-1/2 as with Lion's Head Bearcat Trailer Wheel # 274-000039. At the top of the page simply click on your bolt pattern to see just the rims that will work with your hub bolt pattern.

You'll want to make sure that the shop that mounts your tires to the new rims uses valve stems that are rated for the 110-psi as it is the valve stem that determines the wheel's psi pressure capacity.

I also linked our radial special trailer tires in your size ST235/85-16. These are available in three load ranges, E, F and G. These come in either an L speed rating (75-mph) or an M rating (81-mph) as indicated in the specs for each tire.

No matter which particular wheels and trailer tires you use always maintain their COLD psi pressure at the maximum indicated on the tire sidewall.
