14.5 inch tires and 14 inch rims

[khenke413]

I recently got 5 practically brand new 14.5 inch trailer house tired from a guy I know. The rims on my boat trailer are 14 inches, and I'm wondering if the tires will fit on the rims?

No. The wheels are smaller than the hole in tire. How would you expect them to stay on, let alone seal?

I have to admit, I never heard of 14.5" tires before. Learn something new every day. :noidea:

Well there you go, that explains it. I never owned a mobile home. I do know tornadoes love them though, or so it seems. :facepalm:

Ayuh,.... Mobile homes, various pieces of construction equipment, 'n my houseboat wagon,....

The dayton style hubs are the Problem with these hubs, 'n wheels,...
As MH said above, they don't hold up well,...
The cast iron cracks, 'n the wheel/ tire falls off,...
Pretty much unsafe at hi-speeds,...

I've gone through a couple on the houseboat wagon,...
Snapped one in 2 just tighten it up with my makita 18v impact driver,.... Blew me away,... BOOM,....
So far, since I Bondoized 'em,... they're holdin' up real well,...
Went from a tri-axle to a tandem, then drilled into the grease cavity, screwed in a grease fittin', 'n now I pump 'em full 'bout anytime I move it,...
