Can 10 inch Brake Drums be Used with 13 inch Trailer Wheels
Question:
I notice in your question-and-answer section you state that 10 inch drums require a 14 inch wheel or larger. My small camper trailer uses 13 inch wheels and has 10 inch drums from the factory as well as replacement 10 inch drums from ETrailer currently on it . Perhaps I am missing something here but it seems some clarification is in order.

Expert Reply:
There are exceptions to some rules, generally speaking 13 inch trailer wheels will not work with 10 inch hub and drums. Your wheels might be manufactured differently than most and there isn't a clearance issue like on most. I would imagine the clearance between the hub and the rim is pretty tight.
I am glad your setup is working well and we appreciate your feedback.
