Replacement Rim and Tire Recommendation for a Featherlight Trailer with B78-13 ST Tires
Question:
I am trying to new tires and rims for featherlight trailer. I have determined that it is 2 3/4 between holes on my rims. The tire is B78-13 ST which I believe is equal to a 175/80-13. The problem is I cant seem to find this tire and rim combination on your sight? 175/80-13 C/D on a 5 on 4 3/4 rim? Can you point me in the right direction?

Expert Reply:
The B78-13 tire size you have is basically a 175/80-13 so you are on the right track in that regard.
If you do have 2-3/4 inches between your wheel studs then yes you do have a 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern. Which means we don't have a rim that would work for you. If maybe you didn't measure quite right and you actually have 2-5/8 inches then you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern and would want the part # AM31985.
I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt patterns for you to check out as well.
