WTB 16" trailer rims/tires to fit 5200# axle
 

Looking to buy a set of 16" rims with or W/O tires for my 28' enclosed that has the 6 lug 5200# axles.

Let me know what you have and how much - mmracing@nvc.net

Thanks

Do a google search for RV salvage yards in your general area.

They usually have an abundance of 16" 6 lug trailer rims for sale,
usually minus tires.

Another possible source would be rims off of a Lincoln Mark 7 or
a towncar, I think. * Mike Graham please chime in on this.*

Clarification....I just talked with Mike Graham and he corrected me,
the Lincoln wheels are 16", but only 5 lug. But they are a good
way to upgrade your 15" 5 lug trailer over to 16" 5 lug wheels.

Thanks for the info Philip - I'll do some checking on that front as well.

American Racing and Eagle Alloys and some other make those. Less than $100 each new, sometime they got blems. 16" x 6' or 7' 6 hole. If the looks don't affect you, Dexter Axle has them about 35 each. Hope this helps.

Well I got my wheels now what size tire should I use this is a 24 Haulmark with a 1200 pound rear eng dragster and tool boxes parts etc...Not a whole lot of weight but probably in the 6-7000 range--- thanx fed387

May not be relevant in your case, but I plan to use the same size tires as my dually. My trailer has 8-lug axles, I figure the spare trailer tires couldwork in a pinch to limp me a ways as a front wheel/tire on the truck (assuming I have a flat on the same trip already on the truck).

Re: WTB 16" trailer rims/tires to fit 5200# axle
 

I'm pretty sure the wheel offsets would be all wrong, even with one wheel being used.
I have limped a dually with one wheel/tire removed from the rear. A used truck I bought a while back had the wrong wheel as a spare!
