Yes, the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series 6 Trailer Wheel part # AM20455B will work great on a Alcom 16' Box Trailer. If you want you can reuse the current tires or you can pick up some new ones with your new wheels, the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10244. You'll also need the Americana Rubber, Snap-In Valve Stem part # AM20903.
