Question:

I am looking for a spare rim to fit my moms scotty camper. Its a 1972 model with 15 inch rims which i believe that are original. They have a 5 bolt pattern and the tire size is 205 75 15. Will this rim fit her camper and still allows her moon hub caps to fit on it?

Yes, the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel part # AM20504 (15" Diameter W/ 5 on 4-1/2" Bolt Pattern) will work with the Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Caps like part # AM90086. It also matches the size and bolt pattern requirements you provided so there will be no issues in regard to fitting on the trailer.
