[VAC] Re: 6-lug 15" wheels

David:

   Since you have a six lug bolt pattern on your trailer, the lug studs will 
be directly opposite each other.  Measure from the center of one lug stud to 
the center of the opposite lug stud to get your "bolt circle diameter" for 
your particular trailer.  The lug hole pattern will then be "6 holes on a 
_______ bolt circle diameter", the _____ being the measurement you obtain 
from your "older" trailer of undisclosed vintage.  

   The other thing you need to know is the offset for the wheel, which is the 
distance from the edge of a rim to the front (or back) of the bolt holes in 
the wheel center.  That is very difficult to measure with a tire on the 
wheel.  I cannot help you with that over the computer.  Your best bet there 
may be to take one wheel and tire with you to the flea market for comparison. 
 Buying a wheel with the correct bolt circle diameter but with an incorrect 
offset will not serve you well as a spare tire, as you may not be able to 
mount it in the rather tight and narrow Airstream wheelwell.   Good luck!
