Yes, the Trailer Idler Hub Assemblies # TA88545-2 are two 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern idler hubs that will fit the CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Standard Spindles # CE33201GA. These will allow for you to mount a 15" wheel and tire like the Loadstar ST205/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire w/ 15" Galvanized Wheel # AM3S650.
