The difference on a 15X5 tire and a 15X6 is the width of the wheel. The 15X5 being 5 inch width and the 15X6 being a 6 inch width. I recommend The Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20428.
The wheel has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern with a pilot diameter of 3.19 inches and has a weight capacity of 2,200 pounds. The wheel has an e-coated primer beneath the powder coat finish that helps resist rust.
I attached a review video link below.
