Anyone upgraded their trailer wheels? I have a 14 ZX20 and would like to add 16 or 17” black rims. Any info and pics would be appreciated. After doing some research it doesn’t seem like there are any trailer tires to accommodate these rims without doing any fender modifications.
Thanks
Steve

the newer wheels look great but i like having a bit more tire. mine are 14" which is old school but i keeps good rubber and my speed under 70 and no issues so far
So can anyone suggest a couple sharp rims only for the stock 205-5 lug trailer tires of a 2016 ZX225? thanx

Just got my new rims and tires in today! They fit perfect and I love the look. I will provide some feedback on towing once I get some miles on them.
I would love to know what kind you got, where you got them and the sizes. They look SWEET!!
Wow those look awesome on her! Good choice
Thanks guys! I did a lot of research to find the right tires and fit. The easiest thing to do is take your current tire measurements and put them in a tire calculator and it will give you overall diameter and width. Then measure what you have for extra space and try to stay as close to your factory measurements as possible. Keep in mind if you increase diameter by an inch or width by an inch, its an overall measurement from top to bottom and sided to side. I ended up going with a Fuel Rim that measured 16x8 and had an offset of +1mm (essentially 0). I mounted a Bridgestone Dueler 215/65R16 tire in load range XL.Originally Posted by phlipnstik
Stock Measurements w/ 205/75R14 = 26.1" Diameter and 8.1" Width
New Setup w/ 215/65R16 = 27" Diameter and 8.5" Width
Hope this helps!
great info! Thanks
