Wheel Pattern for 2006 Open Road 5th Wheel

[TNFarmBoy]

I have a 2006 357 RLS Fifth Wheel in Texas that I want to transport back to Tennessee. It has good Micheline 16 inch tires but they are 10 years old. I want to use 17" tires that I have taken off my truck and I will need to purchase new wheels to do this. However, I don't know the wheel pattern. Does anyone know the pattern for this fifth wheel?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the feedback. It may be best just to put new 16" tires on the trailer.

Don't know if you can get 17" wheels to fit the trailer, the normal upsize from 16" is the 17.5" wheels.

I would buy a set of tires to take with you to TX and have them installed at the first place you come to. Or have the new tires on hold at a chain close to the 5ers location in TX.
Your location in TN may as well be NC, even if the 5er is in east TX that is still a long hump. You're smart to replace the tires.

Trailer axles require zero offset wheels....as in trailer wheels. Trailer Axle bearings are set up for the load to be between the inner and outer bearings.
Use the wrong offset and axle bearing won't last long.
From TX to TN may work for you. 17" tires from the truck may be to wide (tread and section width) so measure close.

Just buy you some new 16in Micheline XP Ribs and put on it. And you will be fine. You don't need the 17in rims

6 bolt should be 5.5"
8 bolt should be 6.5"

Do you have the clearance and with for the tires your putting on? I dont know anything about 5th wheels, but on some of the smaller campers bigger tires creates an issue. People have to use spacers, if they can fit the tire on. And sometimes the bouncing will cause a tire that looks like it has clearace on it to rub. So , i would make sure before buying stuff.

that unit prob has 8 lugs. Simply measure from the center of one lug hole to the center of the one directly opposite of it to get the wheel pattern. For example, if it measures 6.5 inches from hole to hole, that would be a "8 on 6.5" wheel pattern

He'll need an awfully long tape measure to reach all the way over Arkansas to Texas.
