I was trying to stay out of this campaign to sell each others ideas but can't stop my self. Since price was mentioned and I did have some data I copied and pasted this older post of mine.

....



It is known knowlege that trailer wheels will fit our 8 lug hubs while clearing tie rod ends. However after searching last two years I had difficulty finding non-spoked trailer wheels or any that looked like the originals.

Finally I hit the Jack Pot.

My uncle had a older trailer which had the wheels I wanted. So I tried to fit them and it worked.

Even the hub caps appear to fit perfectly once I get the clips.

Only problem is that they are my uncles so I had to find my own. This lead me to this web site.

I ordered the 16 x 6, 8 lug wheels (A-17-153-65), but there are a couple various options that might work.
The price was $62.75 per wheel.
I ordered 5 so I could have a side mounted full size spare

Shipping was $89 dollars and only took the 2 days to deliver to my door step.
Total price was $406.14 which I tought was good compared to other options.
The wheel came in black gloss which is what I wanted and looked very similar to stock split rims

Best part is that this wheel has 3.5 backspacing which clears tie rods with out spacers needed, barely.

The tire which I will be using:
DAYTON 204.899 TIMBERLINE AT COMMERCIAL
LT235/85R16 120/116R
Load Range E

It's alittle $$$, but looked the best with highest load range and set about 31.5 inches tall.

I hope some body can use this info. I know that wheels on this application is a contant problem. Thought I would share my good find.

Thanks every one for you help.
