Trailer Wheel Bolt Pattern and Pilot Hole Diameter of Wheels on Ranger Boat Trailer

Question:

I am getting ready to purchase a 2020 Ranger RT178 Aluminum Bass Boat and am buying a lot of the pieces, parts, and options ahead of time - some of them from eTrailer.com - and I need to know the hub pattern and bore diameter before I purchase the tires and rims. Do you have that information for the Ranger Trail trailer that comes with that boat? Thank you.

I spoke to the trailer specialist at Ranger Boats and the trailer supplied with their RT178 bass boat usually is fitted with 13-inch wheels that have the popular 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern and a wheel pilot hole diameter of 3.19-inches as with the Hi-Spec # AM22323HWTB
. He was not able to confirm the hub bore diameter which is where a grease cap or Bearing Buddy would install but the most common size is 1.98-inches.

He said that since it is possible that a local dealer may change parts that dealer would be the best source for the information pertaining to your specific trailer.
