The Aluminum Bearcat Trailer Wheel # 274-000039 is currently the only size we carry in a 16" diameter. This is the Gunmetal gray color and has an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern. It is also the correct width for a ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire # TTWTRTM2358016E. As Lionshead is discontinuing a lot of their aluminum wheels you may only be able to find one in black used.

@BudM..hey bud..can you tell me the difference between the bearcat and bobcat aluminum wheel? I know the bearcat black isn't available and was thinking the bobcat would be a close match..thx in advance.

@John The Bearcat # 274-000039 and Bobcat # LHSO513B are going to be mostly cosmetic differences. While obviously the black on the Bobcat versus the gray of the Bearcat but the polished lip areas are different where you can see on the Bearcat the lugs are in the painted section while the Bobcat places the lugs in the polished raised lips. Both wheels are the same 16" x 6" size with 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern that accepts 1/2" or 9/16" wheel studs. The Bobcat has a slightly lighter capacity at 3,960lbs versus the Bearcat at 4,080lbs.
