How To Determine What Replacement Hub And Drum Will Work On Trailer
Question:
I hope this helps us the proper hub/drum upgrade from 6 lug to I think 8 on 6 1/2. I know for sure the drums are 12 in if that helps.

When changing the hub and drum on your trailer you will need to know a few things. Most important, you will need to know what bearings you need.
The easiest way is to take the hub and drum off your trailer and get the part number of the bearings on the trailer. If you cannot find the part number you will need to measure the spindle with a digital caliper like part # PTW80157 at the locations shown in the attached photo. After you get the measurements you can let me know what you come up with and I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
I have attached a link to our product page for our hubs that have an 8 on 6-1/2 wheel bolt pattern.
