Buying Guide

Confirm bolt pattern and lug count

Measure your hub's bolt circle (e.g., 8x6.5 or 6-lug) to ensure the wheel or assembly mounts correctly without hub or spacer modifications

Match wheel diameter and tire size

Choose the same rim diameter (13", 15", 16") and equivalent tire sizing (ST205/75R15, 225/75R15) to maintain speedometer accuracy and suspension geometry

Prioritize load rating and ply construction

Select assemblies with appropriate load capacity—look for 6-ply or nylon cap ply construction on Free Country or ROCKMAN units for heavier loads

Consider material and finish

Steel wheels in finishes like silver or white spoke are durable and affordable; corrosion-resistant coatings extend service life on utility trailers

Evaluate tire-wheel assemblies vs. wheels only

Buying a complete tire-wheel assembly (Free Country, ROCKMAN) saves mounting/balancing time and ensures correct tire fitment compared with purchasing wheels alone
