I may have an option for you but mobile home axles are considered a one-time use only product and are not designed to be used on a standard trailer. Therefore, there are no hub conversion kits for them that will allow you to use standard wheels/tires. The only option we can offer you for this is a completely new axle. I have attached some information before this.

In order to choose the correct replacement axle for a trailer you'll first want to start with the weight capacity. The weight capacity can be found on the axle tag in the center of the beam. Then, you'll need to measure the hub face (center of hub face to center of hub face) and spring center (center of spring center to center of spring center). This will then give you the info needed to pick out the correct replacement axle for your trailer. I have also attached a video I did to help others with this same thing so be sure to give that a watch.

The Trailer Axle Beam part # e45GR for example is a 5,200 lb axle which measures measures 86.5" long at the hub face and 71.5" at the spring center though these can be moved. I have attached a full list of all our other axles you can choose from once you have the info above.
