I am about to purchase a 2015 177 with the Riser option, I would like to install 15" wheels & tires. I am trying to find out the off set, lug pattern, rim width and tire size that will work. Has anyone done this? I wish I could order a Hood River Edition, but I live on the east coast. Thanks for any help.

Trailer wheels normally have zero offset.
Lug pattern is 5 on 4.5
I'm running 205/75-15 on mine, might be able to go bigger but I chose Maxxis trailer tires after a lot of research and the next size up for them is 225/75-15, they skip 215/75-15 which I would have picked.....

Rim width is dependent on tire width...I picked 6".
