Toyota 16" wheels for 5'ver?

[aruba]

I have 4 spare 16" Toyota 4Runner aluminum wheels that will fit my 5'ver. I would like to put LT tires on them and do away with the ST tires. Does anyone know if the Toyota wheels would be able to handle the load rating of 3,200 lbs EACH that I see for a standard trailer wheel?

Hi All,

Thanks for the replies. The Toyota wheels I have are +20 offset. There is no stamping to indicate the load rating on these wheels anywhere. My Keystone Cougar weights in at about 10K loaded.

Your concerns are weight ratings fro the wheels and offset. Wrong offset and it will eat your wheel bearings.

IMHO unless I could find proof positive the Toyota wheels were up to the job I would not use them. I seriously doubt Toyota used wheels capable of that much weight. What load range tires were on those wheels originally from Toyota? 🙂

Lots of 6 lug chevy wheels out here but with the wrong offset their worthless for a trailer. Also the center hole in a trailer wheel is larger than a automotive wheel so it has plenty of clearance for the hubs bearing cone.

A 6k axle with LT tires will require the wheel to have a 80 psi rating and a 3042 lb load rating. I doubt a 1/2 ton trucks wheels that come with P tires are rated anywhere near those ratings.

Need for zero offset is your first problem followed closely by weight rating. Wrong offset on trailer hubs leads to very early bearing failure. Chris

Those Toyota wheels are 6 lug correct? I find it very unlikely they are rated for 3200 LBS. Is your trailer that heavy?

What are the wheels rated for....anything stamped in valley or backside of rim?

What is the off-set on those rims?

What off-set is needed on your 5vr...zero?

What is the axle weight of your 5vr?
