You can run 17.5s on 9/16 studs.. Either get a nut centric wheel or hub centric wheel and cone nut ring same as you use for dual wheel setups

19.5 wouldn't fit they only make certain sizes for 19.5 none small enough to fit under your fenders.

BS. 225/70/19.5 will fit his trailer..
Hell diesel power mag did an article about putting 19.5s on both dually and 5ver couple years back... They used vision wheel got matching dually and single wheel setup

You might also need to measure the height of that trailer. Alot of trailers like that are built to be right the legal height limit. You sure would not want to put a tire on that would put you over limit. A rig like that is being for a DOT check (not because anything is wrong, just to make sure everything is legit), and oversize without a permit tickets suck!

Right now it's sitting at 11' 4" with it's current tire/wheel package.

Then extra tire would be no problem...that is good news.

Congrats Russ. I have battled this for years. My 30' stacker with the truck and car and other things like golf cart and tools was a challenge to keep tires under it. I bought 10, 12, and 14 ply trailer tires and ran "e" rated truck tires and nothing lasted long. Basically with the 25k weight and rolling down the road at 70+/- MPH they just over heated and blew up. Perfect tread, just couldn't handle the heat. I don't like driving 55mph when you have 2500 miles to go.

So I did some research with the hot shot guys and different tire stores which lead me to these;

Goodyear G614 RST Load range G truck tire 235/85/16.

They are not cheap but so far I haven't blown a tire. I've only put about 3500 miles on them so not conclusive but I for sure would of popped one of the others in this small amount of miles.

i would go this route Russ.
