Expert Reply:

Yes, if the bolt pattern on the Vesper Steel Dual Trailer Wheel # MX89FR and you have the same 5.35" offset, then this will work just fine.

Typically, vehicle's will use wheels with a high positive offset which will put the tire closer to the frame, while trailers will use wheels that have zero offset, which help promote even tread wear since trailers pull heavier loads.
