15" metal wheel for spare tire

Hello, I have a 2021 TAB 320s Boondock and would like to move the spare tire to the front as others have done. I am not worried about effect of tongue weight since I have margin. I just replaced the Apex tires with GY Endurance ST225 75R15 tires but kept the 15" Apex tire for a spare.

The issue I am having is finding an appropriate metal wheel. It needs to be 15" of course but I am not sure of the rim width. They come in 5", 6" and 7" widths with varying bolt spacings. I believe the stock rims are 5 lug with 4.5" spacing. Does this sound right? Thanks for any advice you can give.

    @Mcbret, I have the same Goodyear Endurance tires (ST225 75R15.)  My 2019 320 S Boondock Lite has the 15" diameter wheels with a 6" width.  5 lug with the 4.5" spacing.

    In July 2023, I purchased an identical replacement wheel from "TrailerSetGo" ( https://trailersetgo.com/meet-trailer-set-go ):  Part #: PDTB55545BM  Thoroughbred 15x5 5-4.5 Black Aluminum Trailer Wheel - - Matte Black.  However, you will need to contact them to find out if they still sell them.  The wheels are stamped "15X6.0J" (6” rim with standard RV “J” collar profile for the tire bead.)

    They provided me with excellent service and fast shipping, but you will need to contact them to find out if they still sell the wheel.  GoSales@trailersetgo.com
