I bought a small houseboat that is trailerable. It sits on a trailer that uses 14.5 inch mobile home tires from the factory but not mobile home rims. It has standard 5 lug rims. All 4 rims and tires are good. I just need a spare. I've looked everywhere but no luck. I even thought about using a 14 or 15 inch tire and rim for a spare but can't find a tire with the weight rating that it requires.
I don't want to go to larger tires as there is no room under the fenders. I can't move the fenders up unless I raise the boat and then the geometry of the trailer changes.
So that brings me to you fine people.
Any ideas on where I could find a 14.5 inch 5 lug rim?

Walmart has a bunch of them. That is a pretty standard rim for a trailer.

Unfortunately, those are 14 inch rims, not 14.5.
The 14.5 inch rims are the donut rims, I need the full modular rim, but nice try. I sure appreciate the effort

The 14.5s that I saw in there were all just the donut rims that are used on mobile home axles. If there is a full rim in there, PLEASE let me know.

Have you tried contacting the maker of the trailer?

Is there any identifying marking on the rims?
