We have a couple options for you to replace your 205/60-8 tire and wheel with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern with something slightly wider and taller. A 205/60-8 measures 17.7" in diameter and is 8.1" wide, and for a bigger option there is a 215/60-8 tire, which is 18.3" in diameter and 8.9" wide. For that size tire with a wheel you have two choices:

- Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel # AM3H290

- Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM3H300

The only difference between the two is the wheel, with one being a white powder-coated steel wheel and the other a galvanized steel wheel. Otherwise, both have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern, are load range C (940 lb per-tire capacity) and have an 81 mph speed rating.
