Could Dexstar Conventional Trailer Wheel be Used with Wheel Bolts
Question:
This is for a 1975 Bell Travel Trailer 15 footer. Can this wheel be used with wheel bolts? Also what tire would you recommend with this wheel. Currently the trailer has two car tires on it, a 215 75 R15 and a 225 75 R15, which fit wheel well. What tire width do you typically see on travel trailers 205, 210? I would want to go with something between a 205 and 215, class C and minimum and 6-8 ply. Thank you

As long as the wheel bolts were tapered they can be used with the wheel part # AM20504 as the bolt holes on this wheel are designed for a tapered lug nut or wheel bolt.
I'd strongly recommend you go with a trailer tire instead of a passenger vehicle tire. Which in the size 225/75R15 we do have a trailer tire like Karrier part # AM10303 which will be a great option.
