Standard lug nuts work with the Aluminum Hi-Spec Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 13" x 5" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Silver
Item # AM22323HWT that you referenced. If the trailer has hubs with the very common 1/2-inch diameter the lugs part # LHLR103 would work well.

Zero offset is like what you mean. That means the mounting flange is right in the middle of the wheel, so the weight of the trailer is carried equally on both sides of it.

It actually matters greatly! Chrome is not all that corrosion resistant. Stainless steel on the other hand is light years ahead of chrome as far as corrosion resistance. Since you are at the Gulf Coast and salt water stainless steel is the way to go.…

Thanks for giving me the dimensions and part number of the hub you are looking for. Based on that I can tell that you have a BTR spindle on your trailer. I also was able to determine that you need a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inch with 1/2 inch…

The closest tire size we have to what you listed is going to be the 175/80R13 that you mentioned. For just a tire in that size the part #LHWL101 would be your best option. It has a speed rating of 75 mph and has a 2-year roadside assistance program…

Generally when picking out a winch for a boat trailer the ratio is 2 to 1 meaning you would need a winch with roughly half the capacity as the weight of the boat. With good rollers and a short winching distance the ratio increases to 3 to 1, but with…

We do not carry the Shelby winch line since they went out of business. We do have the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch #DL15440. I have attached a photo that shows the mounting pattern for the winch you can check out. You can check the measurements to see…

The bolt hole spacing as well as the bolt hole pattern is different when you compare the #DL14627 (which is the 1802A) to the #DL15440 (3200A). The overall dimensions differ as well. I am attaching some pictures showing the bolt hole measurements as…
