Can 12 inch Trailer Wheel and Tire Get Replaced with 14 inch Wheel and Tire
Question:
Hello, I have a Northern Tool 5x8 trailer with 12 wheels and tires 5 x 4 1/2 bolt pattern. I would like to increase the wheel and tires to 14. Is this possible and what would you recommend? I think I would have to use a wheel spacer for the 14. Is that ok? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
We can't advise using wheel spacers on trailer wheels but we do have 14 inch trailer wheels with tires that have the correct bolt pattern you need of 5 on 4-1/2 inch. You could potentially use the # AM32131 which has a width of 8.1 inches and an outer diameter of 26.3 inches.
You'd have to compare that to the available space on your trailer's wheel well.
