Are All Trailer Wheels with 4 on 4 Bolt Pattern White Steel Wheels
Question:
HI, I have a 4 on 4 torsion axle for my M/C trailer I would like to get away from the ugly white wheels. what options are there for moving to a 5 bolt pattern on the existing axle?

Expert Reply:
I wouldn't write off the 4 on 4 pattern just yet. There are more options now than there used to be including aluminum wheels like # AM22318HWT. This is a 12 x 4 wheel with the 4 on 4 pattern. So instead of changing hubs, wheels, and tires, you could just change the wheels. I have also included a link to all the tire and wheel combos that have aluminum wheels with 4 on 4 bolt pattern and the tires already mounted.
If you want to switch to a 5 bolt pattern I would have to know the inner and outer bearing numbers of the hubs you are using now.
