Will a 225/75R15 Trailer Tire Fit a 15" x 5" Trailer Wheel

Expert Reply:
In order to mount a 225/75-15 trailer tire you'll want to go with a 15" diameter x 6" wide wheel. If you have a 15" diameter x 5" wide wheel you'll want to go with a 205/75-15 trailer tire. I have attached some recommendations below for these wheels/tires.
