Does Trailer Brake Assembly K23-104-00 Have Wheel Size Restrictions
Question:
Im looking to use this on a 2000 lb axle. Why does it list 10inch to 13inch wheel size? I plan to use a 15inch truck tire on this trailer. I would really like a 2000 lb electric brake setup with park brake option on a 10inch drum but I cant find that listed.

Trailer hubs do have wheel size restrictions for use with them. The brake assembly part # K23-104-00 that you referenced fits a hub that has a smaller mounting flange than what a 15 inch wheel would fit on. Also, you really shouldn't be using a truck tire on a trailer as a truck wheel wasn't designed for the vertical loads trailer wheel would see and the offsets are typically pretty different since a trailer wheel will have a zero offset.
