Can Larger Tires and Rims be Used Without Changing Hubs?

Question:

Ive got a home made trailer with a 4 lug hub with a 12 in tire, can I upgrade to a 13 in tire and rim without changing hubs?

Helpful Expert Reply:

You can certainly change the sizes of your tire and rim without changing hubs as long as your new rim has the same bolt pattern as your current hub. For example, the Loadstar # AM3S030 has 13" wheels and would fit a hub with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern.

In addition, you will also need to make sure there is enough clearance between the top of your tires and fender; it is recommended to have about three inches between the two.
