The best option is to use a tire with an aluminum wheel to help resist corrosion since you have the boat trailer. We have the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel # KE77JR which comes pre mounted so you are ready to go. If you are looking for a more price conscious option since it is only a spare the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel # AM32182 will also work. The galvanized wheel is more corrosion resistant than basic painted wheels. Bothe these wheels use the common 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Please let me know if your boat trailer has a different bolt pattern. Do not be worried about mix matching steel and aluminum wheels as it will not affect the towing for your boat trailer.

For the wiring you will simply need the Optronics 7-Way Round to 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector Adapter # A75TB. This adapter can also be used with 4-way flat connectors so you will not need to have different adapters for each.
