Does Karrier Trailer Tire and Wheel Have Offset

Question:

I want bigger wheels on my HF trailer stock 5.3x12 with 5 on 4.5 hubs I will be on the highway and it seems like there are more tire choices for the bigger wheels. Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15 inch White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C This is the tire/wheel I am looking at. Im probably just missing this... but I cant find any information on the wheels offset? I want to make sure it will fit. My hub is 5x4.5 so just need to make sure there is enough room. Im sure people have asked you about this before, Im also looking at: Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire with 13inch Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range D I would prefer the larger wheel. 14 inch or 15 inch ideally. I want radials with an M speed rating. Load class C is all I need. Thanks.

The Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32459 does not actually have an offset so you weren't missing anything!

When inflated, the Karrier tire and wheel will measure 28.4" in diameter and 8.4" wide so you do want to make sure you have the proper clearance of (3" from top of tire to fender) for these tires and wheels will work for you.

Since you mentioned 14" there is also the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" silver mod Wheel # 274-000017 which measures 26.1" in diameter when inflated and 8" wide. It also has no offset, has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and a load capacity of 2,040 lbs, which is similar to the 2,150 lbs of the Karrier # AM32459.

I have added links to video reviews of both tire and wheel combos for you to check out.
