Is Upgrading from 7 to 10 Hubs Needed When Switching from 13 to 15 Wheels

Question:

Hi, I’m running a 185 on 13s with about 2k axles assumed based on 4K dry weight rating 7-1/4 brakes. I have 205s on 15s I want to install. Do I need to upgrade the brakes to a 10” for the 15” wheel and that also requires a 10” hub too? Thank you!

In regards to upgrading from 13" wheels to 15" wheels, you should not have to upgrade hubs as well since most that are compatible with 13" wheels are also compatible with 15" wheels. Furthermore, it would actually not even be an option of upgrading the hub size without changing out the axle. If you have the clearance you'll be good to go.

I really like the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Mod Wheel part # TA47VR as an upgrade option but have attached a full list to choose from below.
