Tire and wheel experts???
I'm considering new wheels on my 2010 Fuzion TE II, factory wheels are 7" wide, new wheels are 6". Would there be any issues I could expect running a 1" narrower wheel?

Why new wheels? What tire came on the trailer from the factory, and why do you feel you need to change sizes?
I like the new wheels better than the factory and I got a super deal on them brand new.
Might want to clean up those old 16 x 7" wheels and store them away, for when you see the LT light...
jmo- Make sure you get rims rated for 110psi in case you ever want to go to heavy duty tires.

Check the specs on the tires you have now...that will tell you what the rim width range is. For ex. a 235/80-16 Goodyear Marathon has approved rim widths from 6.0-7.5"
I'm running Maxxis 235/80-16 so guess I'll be good.fj12ryder wrote:

- I would not go to a narrower wheel, same size tire will not wear correctly and smaller tire may not handle the weight.
You need to consult a "real" tire/wheel expert. - Why new wheels? What tire came on the trailer from the factory, and why do you feel you need to change sizes?
- That would mean using a narrower tire that more than likely has a lower weight rating.
