Need to get some new wheels and tires for the trailer. What cars/trucks use the 5-4.5 bolt pattern. I heard Ranger would work but don't know for sure. I don't want those shitty white trailer rims! Help!

Toyota, ford ranger. Just need to make sure the offset is right so the tires don't rub the inner fender well or even the side of the boat.

Ford ranger and Toyota also jeep 5 lug. I noticed you need to check your center bore size. Trailers have big hubs and not all car rims will clear the hub. Just my experience.

Early five lug Ford Mustang, Early Dodge passenger car, Ranger, 2wd Toyota pickup...
Will have issues with width more than anything, most trailer manufacturers use like a 7" wide fender.
I am playing with a set of 15" Jeep aluminum five holes on my Extreme trailer, but I may need to give up because of the 8" width...

technically trailer rims SHOULD have a 0 offset. meaning the load is put directly on top of the hub bearings. most car rims will have a positive/negative offset so be mindful of that when selecting rims on sites like craigslist... you can get away with a positive offset and use a spacer to move the wheel back out, or a small negative offset but you might need to adjust the fender to match the rim.
