Should Wheel Spacers be Used for Tires Rubbing Trailer Frame
Question:
I have a four on four trailer hub. I bought four on four rims and tires from you. The tires rub on the frame just enough to make them not work. I really need a hub extender there goes out 1 in. I purchased A4 on 100 mm adapter extender but its just not quite there ... Where can I find a four-on-four hub extender?

I am unaware of any specific place that has a spacer/extender which will work for your application in regards to the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM3S130 rubbing your trailer frame. We do not recommend the use of spacers because it can cause otherwise avoidable issues with your tires and hubs; the added stress from an extension/spacer can cause tire wear or internal issues with the hub.
While I understand it is not the solution you wanted the best option is going to be a longer axle that extends the hubs out; I have added a link to our selection of trailer axles so you can see the sizes and lengths we have, as well as their capacities.
