Can Trailer Wheels be Used on a Passenger Vehicle
Question:
May I put trailer rims on a regular car?
asked by: REYMUNDO
Expert Reply:
Technically if the bolt pattern and weight ratings are compatible with your vehicle then you can fit trailer wheels on a car but the biggest problem you are going to have is proper tire placement.
Vehicles use wheels with high positive offsets which puts the tire closer to the frame of the vehicle and since trailer wheels are designed to have a zero offset so that there is even tread wear as they tend to deal with heavier loads.
Older vehicles used to use conventional steel wheels like the Dexstar # AM20504 which has a 0.5 positive offset but if you have a newer vehicle you are going to need a wheel with a larger positive offset.
I have attached our selection of trailer wheels for you to filter through.
