PeteThePen Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Folks I have decided that I need a spare wheel for my US built boat trailer, but am rather put off by the estimated shipping cost of $150! The existing trailer wheels are 14" with a rim width of 5.5" and take an ST 205/75 D14 tyre. The offset, so far as I can tell from my measurements, is 1". The individual wheel maximum load is stated as 1,760lbs. Having done an internet search or two I have noticed that the LEMMERZ 5.5J 14" wheel often comes up from caravan stores at a reasonable price. Does anybody know the offset for this wheel and whether its recommended loading is anywhere near my existing wheels? I would point out that the boat will be well below the maximum loading on this trailer - probably 700kg (1,540lbs). Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteThePen Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Hi Folks Just for completeness I thought I should post the answer now that I have it. The offset (ET) for this particular wheel is 30mm. Happily that is just about right for my application. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
