Hi I have a 4x8 foldable utility trailer with 12 in tires can I upgrade the hub to an 13 , 14 tire ?

If you have the needed clearance for the new wheels and tires, and the wheel bolt configuration of your hub matches then you should have no problem going from a 12-inch to 13-inch wheel and tires.

You want to make sure you have 3-inches or more clearance from the tire to the fender or wheel well for deflection. I have attached a helpful article that explains how to measure the wheel bolt pattern.

I have attached links to our product pages for the 13 and 14 inch tire/wheel combos you can check out.
