What size tires and rims do you guys run on your trailer? Going to 15 inch rims and tires and can not decide. 15 7 rim 225 60 15 or 15 8 with 235 60 15. Any help would be appreciated. Boat is 19 foot jet.
Thanks :)

I have the old 15" ranger wheels on my trailer. They're really skinny, like 5" I think. They had 195-70-15's on them, but try to find those at the tire store. I went up to 205-75-15 trailer radials and they fit the fenders good. I put 3000+ miles on them over the summer and they still look new.

Spectra- I just re-did my trailer and went from 14's to 15's. I am running a 15x7 wheel with 3.5-inch backspace. The tires i am running are P225/60R15. They still have a decent sidewall to allow for cushion but are low pro enough to look extra bitchin. I am going to drop the new fenders down so the trailer looks slammed.

16x7 with 225/50 z-rated for those high speed passes on the trailer. I even lowered the fender over the tire a little so there is no gap, looks sweet!

15x8, 295/50's, looks sweet with trailer redone with wider fenders and steps. I wouldn't have believed it but the 50's have greater weight capacity than the six ply trailer tires I had before!

So with the wide tires what size fenders do your trailers have?
Thanks
