How To Upgrade to 12 Inch Wheels/Tires On a Sealion SK-10-800 PWC Trailer
Question:
Hi. I was hoping its possible to replace the stock tires and rims on my sk-10-800 trailer with 12 inch radial tires and rims without upgrading the axle, and I can modify the fenders if necessary. Is that possible? If not, what type of axle would be appropriate for that trailer with those size tires?

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can upgrade to 12" wheels/tires on your Sealion SK-10-800 PWC Trailer without replacing the axle. For this, I recommend the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire part # AM31202 if you have 5-bolt wheels or the Kenda KR25 ST145R12 Radial Trailer Tire with 12" Aluminum Wheel part # AM31208 if you have 4-bolt wheels. In regards to your fenders, I cannot recommend you modify them although I am sure this is possible but best option would be to just replace them with the CE Smith Single Axle Trailer Fenders part # CE19500-2.
