I'm looking for a pair of 15" Rpod wheels for my r180. Mine came with 14 inch and it's time to move up. Anyone got a set collecting dust?

I don't have any wheels but if you go on the Eastern Marine website they sell load range D tires pre mounted on rims at (relatively) reasonable prices. When you add in saved cost for mounting compared to buying the wheels and tires separately it's not a bad deal. That's what I did when I upgraded to 15 inches.

Be sure you have enough clearance between the fender and the tire, you wilI needed the axle risers on mine.

Good day!

I am quickly adding to this post to suggest that whatever tires and wheels you put on your trailer, that if you don't know already, it is a good idea to have all your trailer wheels balanced, just like your tow vehicle.

No need to put extra stresses via wheel vibration on your trailer and everything in it.

Good luck in your rim search and upgrade,

Andy
