Dexter 6 lug on 5.5 are rated for 2860. Their 16" wheels were what I used when we upgraded from the stock 15" on the last trailer.
X2..... on upgrade to 16" wheels on my 11200-11400 lb 5th wheel trailer. The rv dealer just mounted 4 new ST225/75-15 D Marathons/5200 lb axles. Made a couple of 500 mile round trips to a camp area. The trailer wobbled around like a drunk hog on ice.
Bit the bullet and bought four 16"X 6 lug steel Dexstars which gave me many choices of 16" LT215/85-16 E tires selections for the trailer. I sold the 15" 6 lug wheels/new Marathon tires to a neighbor for her cargo trailer.
