The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K with Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA would work great with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR5200S03. The max wheel size is 16-1/2".

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…
