My boat trailer doesn't have a spare. I should get one.
It's a full size 5-lug.

Spare boat trailer wheel+tire

5.5" or 4.5" circle?
Probably 5.5. Ford and Dodge full size trucks from when Jesus was a boy all the way up to the 2000s or so have that pattern. Offsets are all over the place. There are probably dozens of candidates on CL auto parts

I tried to fit up my Camry FSS and it does not seat on the drum.
Best I can tell measuring is 4.5" circle, and that seems to match the Camry spare.
This thing has lug bolts.

That tire you see there, I wasn't sure initially because I had a low speed wobble that seemed to go away and no issues the last couple outings. On my way home today, about 2 hours out when traffic slowed, I discovered an out of round condition. I could see the boat on that side rolling up and down more than an inch and it would break into resonance around 25. I had to muscle it through the Altamont and Sunol passes, and that last stretch of 680 construction there, someone should find another occupation...
So looks like I'll be searching for two new tires, a wheel, and maybe save the one existing for the spare tire.

Same as most jeeps.
By looking at the rust and 10 year old date code...you need 2 new everything....

I was looking at America's Tire online and see they have a trailer tires and wheels category.
Poo, they use an imaginary metric diameter for the bolt circle. I can use my big micrometer to get the rim width, but I have no idea what offset to enter.

Cool, 114.3 mm you say? And zero offset?
I think the Jeep wheels have +offset, moving the wheel in. Might work.
Or I was considering buying two new wheels and tires and using the old "good" one as a spare and change that tire later.
No rush now as I've been out 3 times and 27 hours on the Hobbs meter may be enough this year, unless something comes up for Labor Day.
