    Most Ranger stock wheels are 14”. If you check what you have now, and post what you would like to have, including the year and model of your boat, it will be easier for us to advise you. It is possible, as you may know, to put taller rims on some trailers without major adjustment. Or perhaps you just want a different style?

    went from 14 " to 17" on my ranger trail just have to play with a wheel tire calculator when plus sizing to keep everything the same, biggest thing is staying with a very similar load rating on the tires. I went with 17" Xtra load tires.

    I assumed they was 15" going by the tire size 225 75 15's
    I have a 2008 ranger 178 dvx with a 150 and single axle trailer. I'd love to go to a 17 inch wheel but don't want to change anything on the trailer though

    Hey KandK,

    ...and anyone else who did an upgrade like this: where did you find your larger 17" wheels in 5x4.5" pattern and how did those Kuhmo XL's hold up? BTW, what size and width rim did you get?

    Cool site, however they basically stop at 16" wheels, looking for 17's or 18's?

    I purchased these 18x9 wheels with a 10mm offset and 245/45r18 tires for my trailer from here.

    Prices were cheap, and mounting and balancing was free.
