Rim Size
Hypothetically, if I were going to upgrade my 14" rims on my trailer to 15" rims. What are the rim dimensions (apart from 15") that I should be considering?
Anything else that I should consider?

I would think width, offset, and bolt pattern.

Doug, stock rims are 14x6, if you go to a 15" rim I think you will have a hard time finding 6" width with the proper backset.

Backset?
Does 6" have to do with the bolt pattern? So Height = 15" It has 5 lugs. I never put 22s on my Accord ![]()

6" is the width of the rim, the bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5.

Cool, thanks! That leaves us with offset.

Doug; My son suggests at least 18's, prefer 20's.

Backset is how far back the rim is centered over the hub. You can measure yours by placing the wheel face down on the ground. Put a yardstick or soemthing similar across the rim and measure the distance from the mounting surface to the edge of the rim ( on the backside of the wheel ) As an example, if you have 4.5" of backspace and put wheels with 3.5" of backspace on there, your wheels will stick out 1" farther than stock. Another example is a Dodge Neon with 12" gold spoke rims that look like the tires are sticking out past the body. Hope that helps.... |
