Could Trailer Wheel and Tire # AM3S030 Fit on 1963 Shasta Trailer

Question:

Re: AM3S030 I am planning on ordering 2 of these wheels with tires. Before I do I want to check that these will work on my 1963 Shasta Trailer. I measured the wheel wells as I know they dont have a lot of room to spare: Wheel well width is 14 Wheel well measurement to the center of the wheel is 15 Does this sound like it will give enough clearance for these wheels that are sightly larger than the originals? I havent found any other options in my search anyway... Another question: will the new wheels take my old hubcap??

Sounds like you have the clearance needed for the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel # AM3S030 to fit. The wheel well width of 14 inches would be plenty wide as the section width of this 6.6 inches. Since the distance from your wheel center to the top of the fender is 15 inches you'd also have 3 inches of fender clearance which is the minimum safe clearance figure.

It's hard to say if the current hub caps you have would fit, but if they were original equipment for your trailer then most likely not due to age.
