The Dexstar Steel Trailer Wheel, # AM20011, is 5-3/8 inches wide from bead to bead. Since it has a zero offset, half of that would be 2-11/16 inches. You would then add 1/2 inch for the lip, making it 3-3/16 inches. Just 3/16 inches wider than the 3 inch back spacing you are looking for. This is probably going to be the closest match.

I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. Both brands make a great quality air bag kit. Personally I prefer the Firestone Ride-Rite #F2709. The air bags themselves are known to be more durable than others. They can hold more PSI…

Answer 3

The 18.5x8.5-8 is actually an old tire size that is not used much anymore. The closest metric size to your existing tire would be 215/60-8. Your wheel most likely has a 5-on 4-1/4 inch bolt pattern (see link), you will want to make sure that the bolt…

Answer 5

The modern size equivalent of the 20.5x8-10 that you have currently would be the same size tire that is on the #AM3H340 that you referenced, 205/65-10. As long as the bolt pattern of your current hubs are 4 on 4 inch the wheels of this would bolt up…

Answer 6

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Yes, you can go with hub #AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K since it uses the same bearings and seal size as your regular hub #AKIHUB-440-2-G-1K. Keep in mind that you will also have to switch to wheels with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I would assume you are…

Answer 8

The 205/65-10 and the 20.5 x 8-10 would be very close in size. Assuming that 20.5 is the diameter of the tire and 8 is the width. The Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10 inch White Wheel, #AM3H390, for example, is 8.3 inches wide with a…

First, I can tell you that we carry few rims that have an offset. If it did have an offset it would be listed so it looks like the Dexstar Wheel, #AM20021, has a zero offset. Given that it has a zero offset the total width of the rim is 8 inches (7…

Answer 10

The 10 inch trailer wheel you referenced, part #AM20041 has a zero offset. The distance from the back of the rim to the mounting surface of the rim (referred to as back spacing) is 3-1/2 inches. Since the wheel has a zero offset, the distance from…

Answer 12

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
