Question:

Which rims wil fit my 8k Dexter axle ?

A Dexter 8k hub would have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern like what the part # TA45ZR has. This is also a 17.5 inch diameter trailer wheel. For a mod style wheel instead, we have the part # TA35ZR.

Is there any difference in “performance” between the one with holes vs the solid wheel? Also is this the only option for the Dexter 8k axle? I am looking to purchase a 17.5 wheel set up for mine and didn’t know if there was any other option just so I make sure I order the right one.

@JaredB The holes are essentially just a looks thing. Either would work just as well. Another option would be the all white version part # TA36MR or if you were feeling fancy the part # 274-000006.
