Can I Use 18 inch wheels with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-K
Question:
Is there a problem with putting 18” Jeep wheels on a #84 trailer hub? I purchased a 5x5 hub from you guys, but it says for 13-15 inch wheels.

Expert Reply:
We recommend using 13-15 inch wheels with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-K because the surface of the hub that contacts the wheel isn't large enough to support a wheel larder than 15 inches. With that little of contact, it will not be stable enough to be safe. You can use this wheel # TA63MR. I chose this wheel because they have a nice clean look to them. The Silver powder coating looks good and will help it resist against rust and corrosion.
