I'm happy to help you figure out if the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel w/ +0.5" Offset - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - Black # AM20766 will fit on your trailer.

In order to determine if it fits you simply need to know your trailer hub's bolt pattern. Since this wheel has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern, if you measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of its opposite bolt and get 6-1/2" then this wheel will fit your trailer!

I have added a link to a video review as well as a link to a help article on determining wheel bolt pattern for you to check out.

Answer 2

A 16 x 6 trailer wheel like #AM20766 can accept the trailer tire sizes 235/80-16, 235/85-16 and 7.50-16LT which we offer. But a wider 245 tire (9.6-inches wide) needs a rim that is 6-1/2 to 8-inches wide such as 16 x 7 wheel #LHJM513.

Answer 3

For toy haulers and RVs like your 2012 Keystone Raptor 365LEV there is only one 8 lug bolt pattern and that is the 8 on 6-1/2 inch like the #AM20766 that you referenced.

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…

Answer 5

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…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 7

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 9

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…

Answer 11

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

Answer 12

You can add larger wheels and tires to a trailer as long as you have enough room for the larger size. The main clearance issues we find when putting larger tires and wheels on a trailer is from the top of the tire to the fender and from the inside…
