The center cap on Aluminum Hi-Spec Series T07 Trailer Wheel # AM25DR has an inner diameter of 2.8 inches and measures approximately 4.9 inches from the mounting surface at the back of the wheel (hub face) to the outermost part on the inside for the center cap. Measure the overall diameter of the Bearing Buddy you are using as well as the distance from the hub face to the end of the Bearing Buddy to determine if the above specs are large enough to accommodate Bearing Buddies.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
