Each of the 16" steel trailer wheels we offer are 6" wide (measured from where the tire beads will seat on the wheel, fro inside of the inner wheel flange to inside of the outer wheel flange), and have an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. Assuming you have both of those, there are a few options for replacement wheels:

- Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 8 on 6-1/2 - White # MX27FR

- Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - Silver # MX59FR

- Vesper Steel 10-Spoke Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" - 8 on 6-1/2 - White # TTW660865WS4

Each of these fit with 1/2"-20 or 9/16"-18 wheel bolts and come with a valve stem.

Answer 5

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…

To find the load capacity for your axle you should look on the trailer VIN plate or sticker that lists the VIN number. The weight rating of the axle should be listed on that same plate or sticker. Also, the axle could have a tag or plate on it that…
