I can't find any marking on my tire rims and I need a new one.
Not sure how to decipher what I need based on the tire size. Would this be a 10" rim based on the last number? Or does that mean 10 ply?
I know the wheel is 5 lug on 4.5".

See if your trailer fenders have enough clearance to switch to 13" ST rated tires. Purchasing a tire/wheel combo might be a viable option, as some prefer a taller tire that's not turning so many rpm's.
Those wide/fat specialized trailer tires are sometimes needed to get into a shallow water ramp--to get the boat lower to the ground.
You can check ChampionTrailers.com to see if they carry the 10" wide rim. They have a big internet business and are a great source of trailer info.

I am actually trying to figure out which rim to buy from champion trailers. They aren't cheap so I want to make sure I get it right.
Pretty sure there's not enough clearance to use a tire 3" bigger but I will check. Not quite sure I want to buy three new rims right now though.

Be sure and get 10 ply tires for the rims.
