What Wheel Width Does Trailer Tire Size 225/75R15 Fit

Question

Question:

Re: fitment question I have a 2002 WW two horse, two axel trailer. The build plate says it is equipped with 225/15 tires on 5x15 rims. The rims are all white no pinstripe mod Dexter 5x15 JJ 5 on 4 1/2 and the tires are ST225/75R15. I’m looking to get all new wheels and tires and I want to keep the factory/oem look. I’m interested in Dexstar am20443 rims and Kenda karrier lodestar ST225/75R15 am10256 tires. I’ve noticed two different expert opinions on the etrailer website as to whether that size tire will fit on a 5in wide rim. One expert Mike L. says “ a 225/75-15 tire will fit on a wheel that’s 5, 6, 6 -1/2, or 7 inches wide.” Another expert says “The ST225/75R-15 tire will fit a 6, 6-1/2, and 7 inch rims but not a 5 inch rim.” This seems contradictory so which is it? Also is Dexter and dexstar the same brand? I screen shot both opinions but can’t figure out how to attach them to this.

Sorry for any confusion but your tire size of 225/75R15 can fit on 15 inch diameter wheels that are between 5 and 7 inches in width. So the Dexstar trailer wheel part # AM20443 would work for you. Dexter and Dexstar are different companies.

Answer 1

The trailer wheel part #AM20443 matches everything you listed. It's a 15 inch diameter by 5 inch wide wheel with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and a 2,150 lb capacity. Since we don't have a combination that has this wheel with the tire size…

I like the chrome wheel cap #AM90091 better with it, but it is really a personal preference. The Stainless steel #AM90175 would also work great for your #AM20537 Dexstar silver wheel.

The only sure way to determine the width of the rim you currently have would be to pull the tire off of it and get a measurement. Your local tire shop should be able to do this for you for very little cost. If the wheel has spokes that would allow a…

We confirmed recently with our contact at Dexstar that the capacity of the Dexstar Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel #AM20522 is 2,150 lbs. For the highest capacity rim in the size you need this would be the one. It is made in the USA.

By "mobile home type bolt pattern" I believe you are talking about a 5 spoke utility bolt pattern such as what is on the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 6,000-lb and 7,000-lb Axles #8-174-5UC3. To measure your axle from hub face to…

Seal 171255UC has an inner diameter of 1.719 inches and outer diameter of 2.565 inches. A seal that has those dimensions would actually be #58846. I've added a link to a video review of this seal for you to take a look at.

Answer 8

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…

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Answer 11

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 12

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…
