From my available research, the Dexstar model 17-293 measures 16" x 6" and has a 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. While we do not carry this exact model, we do have a replacement with the identical dimensions.

If this is the size you need, I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - Silver Powder Coat # AM20794. This rim comes with a 3,960 pound capacity and fits standard stud sizes 1/2"-20 and/or 9/16"-18. To top it all off, they are made 100% in the U.S.A. We also carry the white Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 # MX27FR.

Answer 6

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13…

Answer 7

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
