It's really going to come down to the size of the drums that you've got on those axles; there are exceptions to some rules but generally speaking 13 inch trailer wheels will work with 10 inch hub and drums, just not disc brakes. Your wheels might be manufactured differently than most and there isn't a clearance issue like on most, so it's most likely that you have 3500-lbs brakes that are for 10" drums.

For 10" hub/drums, the # AKEBRK-35-SA are the best choice for self adjusting brakes. For mounting hardware you'll want to use the # BRKH10B.

If for some reason you've only got 7" hub/drums you'll want to use the # AKEBRK-2, which are also self adjusting brakes and you will also need mounting hardware # BRKH7.
