Can 215/75-14 Size Trailer Tire Fit on 5 Inch Wide Wheel
Question:
I currently have 14X6 inch steel wheels, running 215/75R14 tires..can I run those tires on this 1 inch narrower wheel?

Expert Reply:
A 215/75-14 size tire is only recommended on 5-1/2 to 7 inch wide rims so I don't recommend going with the 5 inch wide Lionshead trailer wheel, part # LH84FR, with your tires. You could go with smaller 205/75-14 size tires, like part # AM10235. You'd lose about half an inch in diameter with the smaller size.
With the larger tires we have some other 5-1/2 inch wide wheel options, like part # LHSJ211G. It's the same bolt pattern with a higher weight capacity than the wheel you asked about.
