Can a Replacement Trailer Rim have a Larger Pilot Diameter that Old Wheel
Question:
Will this rim/tire fit my trailer if the wheel center hole on my current wheels is 2.5inch . I want to buy galvanized wheels this time and it looks like you only carry it in 2.5

Expert Reply:
As long as the hubs on your trailer are lug-centric (meaning you have lug nuts and not wheel bolts) you can easily go with a wheel replacement that has a larger pilot diameter.
Lug-centric hubs are by far the most common setup so I would be surprised if you didn't have this setup on your trailer. But if you have wheel bolts on your hubs then instead you would need to find a rim that matches the pilot diameter size.
That said, the # AM30130 you were looking at DOES have the 2.5" pilot diameter.
