Determining Width of Trailer Rim
Question:
Is their an easy way to figure out by measuring the tire to see if you have a 5 inch wide or 6 inch wide rim that you need.

Expert Reply:
The only sure way to determine the width of the rim you currently have would be to pull the tire off of it and get a measurement. Your local tire shop should be able to do this for you for very little cost.
If the wheel has spokes that would allow a tape measure or ruler to pass through, you could take the measurement from bead seat to bead seat, which would be the width of rim you need. I have provided a photo and a diagram showing the measurement you will need to take, but it will be fairly difficult to get with the tire still on the wheel.
