We can help you check to see if you can install new hubs that have a different wheel bolt pattern. The key is knowing your current hubs' bearings, both inner and outer. A new hub can be installed so long as it uses the same bearings as the original hub.
You'll want to pull one hub so you can remove its bearings and obtain their part numbers. The linked photo shows you the usual appearance of those numbers.
Once you know the bearing numbers you can use the linked page to see our idler hubs and our hub/drum items for trailers with brakes. Select the inner and outer bearings by clicking on the filters on the page; you'll then see the hubs that use that same bearing set and that will fit your trailer's spindles. Note the items' weight ratings vary so select based on your axle rating.
Each hub will indicate the trailer wheel sizes that are compatible. You can then use the other link to trailer wheels to select wheels with a bolt pattern to match the hubs you chose. We offer wheels and tires individually, as well as combinations already mounted together. Be sure to select wheels and tires that are rated for the trailer axle weight capacity and always keep your trailer tires fully inflated to their maximum psi pressure as noted on the sidewall.
