Determining Wheel Width on Jayco 212QB Travel Trailer With St205/75R14 Tires

Question:

I have a Jayco 212qb travel trailer. I need to replace a wheel. These are 14 inch wheels with 5 bolts. They are tire size ST205/75R14D. I am not sure about the width of the wheel. Do you know what size wheel I need?

A tire like the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10235 can fit a variety of different wheel widths so it is not possible to determine the width from just the tire. This tire size fits 14" x 5", 14" x 5-1/2", 14" x 6", and 14" x 6-1/2" wheels.

Most wheels will have their size stamped on the back side so I would start by checking there to see if you can find the width. If you are unable to locate this you will have to measure. To find the width of a trailer wheel you measure from where the tire beads will seat on the wheel. In other words, from the inside of the inner wheel flange to the inside of the outer wheel flange. Make sure you do not measure from edge to edge of the wheel since that would give you the overall width which is not considered the width of the wheel.

If you would like to try to match your existing wheels, feel free to send me a picture and I will see if one is available. I have also attached a link to all of our 14" wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern for your reference. The width of the wheel is listed in the title.
