Recommended Tire, Wheel, Center Cap, and Lug Nuts for a Triton LTWCII PWC Boat Trailer

Question:

Good afternoon. I decided to go with wheels Kenda ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire w/12 Black Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D - AM35354 For my Triton LTWCII PWC trailer. Can you confirm if these will fit? Are these wheels good for long haul? The wheels on it now are 08875 ST145/R12E. Also can you recommend nice looking lug nuts and center caps for a good look overall? The trailer does have the EZ lube system on it. Thanks

According to my research your Triton LTWCII PWC trailer has a GVWR of 2,500 lbs so while the Kenda ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire w/12" Aluminum HWT S5 Black Wheel # AM35354 you referenced will fit, the tire only has a Load Range D (1,220 lbs at 65 psi) rating so with 2 tires the most you can carry is 2,440 lbs. As long as your overall weight of the boat and trailer don't exceed this then this combination is a great option for your trailer.

I also recommend picking up the following center cap and lug nuts to finish off your trailer setup:

- Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel # AM90175
- Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut - 1/2"-20 - Stainless Steel # LHLR103
