Options For 15 Inch, 5 on 5-1/2 Inch Bolt Pattern Trailer Wheels

Question

Question:

My 10 utility trailer has 15 5 lug rims. I would like to purchase 16 rims that fit the 5 lug x 5.5 pattern and I am having a difficult time finding them. Does such a rim exist?

There are no 16 inch trailer wheels with a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, so you'd have to stick with the 15 inch wheels::

- Vesper Steel Modular Trailer Wheel w/ Offset - 15" x 5" Rim - 5 on 5-1/2 # TA37RR

This has a -0.67" offset, which you'll want to keep in mind.

You want to make sure the hangers on your trailer have the same width as your leaf spring so if your leaf spring is 1-3/4" wide then you don't want to use a 2" or 2-1/2" wide hanger. It's true that you want the hanger bolts…

The 5-on-5-1/2-inch wheel bolt pattern is pretty rare these days. We do not offer any pre-mounted tire/wheel products with this bolt pattern but we do offer a 15-inch wheel alone, part #TA37RR. This 15 x 5-inch wheel accepts trailer tire size…

We do not have any wheels/rims that are aluminum and have a 4.25" center bore measurement. The only wheels we have with that measurement and bolt pattern are steel, like the Vesper Trailer Wheel #TA37RR. But you also need to know specifically…

We do not offer a wheel/tire combo that consists of the two products you mentioned but you can order them individually and have them mounted locally. For that you would want the part #AM10245 for the tire and then part #TA37RR for the rim.

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 like…
