Expert Reply:

A 215/75R-14 tire will comfortably fit on a 5-1/2, 6, 6-1/2 or a 7 inch wide rim, so it would work perfectly with the # AX02455545FPS 14 x 5-1/2 inch Aluminum Viking Series rim you'd looked at.

The wheel includes the valve stem and center cap. For lug nuts, I'd recommend the # 12CLN.

You have what is called a directional wheel. For a 14 inch directional wheel with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern we have #AM20377 which is a powder coated silver. This is the only 14 inch, 5 on 4-1/2 directional wheel we have.

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…

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…
