We do have 16 inch steel trailer wheels with a 4.9 inch diameter center bore, and though there are none with a chrome finish, they do have a silver powder coat, and you can add covers to give them a chrome look if you'd like. First, for the wheels themselves, you can choose from the following Dexstar options, depending on your wheel bolt pattern:

- 6 on 5-1/2: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - Silver Powder Coat # AM20746

- 8 on 6-1/2: Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - Silver Powder Coat # AM20794

Then what you can do if you want the chrome look as opposed to the silver powder coat is add covers, with the right one again depending on the wheel bolt pattern:

- 6 on 5-1/2: Phoenix USA QuickTrim Ring Cover for 16" Trailer Wheels - Chrome ABS # QT6556CLO with Hub Cover # QT655C

- 8 on 6-1/2: Phoenix USA QuickTrim Ring Cover for 16" Trailer Wheels - Chrome ABS # PXQT865CLO with Hub Cover # PXQT765CHN

The only other thing you would need for either wheel is a valve stem, the Americana Metal, Bolt-In Valve Stem # AM20906.

Yes, a 235/85 R16 tire is designed to fit a trailer wheel with a 6" or 6-1/2" wide wheel. For a premium 235/85 R16 tire option, I recommend using the Westlake ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire part #LHWL410 as all Westlake brand tires come…

The Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Wheel #AM20794 is compatible with both 1/2"-20 and 9/16"-18 studs, so the right lug nuts partly depends on the stud size for your existing hubs. For 1/2", the Redline #12CLN will work really well and if you…
