Hub Bore Diameter of Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub For 3,500 lb Axles

Question

Question:

Can you measure the actual hub diameter for the pilot hole in the wheel? I see your aluminum wheels have a pilot hole of 3.19”. I’m trying to determine my minimum. Would 3” do it? Again I’d like the actual dimension taken at the hub face to determine the minimum pilot hole needed in the rim. Thank you!

The hub bore diameter is 2.59 inches of the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-545-35-EZ-K.

This will work with a 13" to 15" aluminum wheel and tire with a 3.19" pilot hole like the Castle Rock # LH89FR or Kenda # AM39053.

Answer 1

You are correct in your understanding. Some people interchange the word wheel with rim, but they are the same thing and then of course you have tires. Wheels are usually rated for weights as are tires, so combinations that are made on our site will…

As the Castle Rock ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Liger Aluminum Wheel #LH89FR is designed for use with 1/2", we do have a few options available that will work. First we have the Lionshead Trailer Wheel Lug Nut #LHLR103. This is a very nice…

It's very likely you could go with a new wheel and tire in the size of ST225/75-15 in place of your tire size 205/75-14 on your Grey Wolf toy hauler like with the #AM34659 that you referenced but it comes down to whether or not you have enough…

The best option we are going to have that will give you the higher weight capacities on a nicer looking aluminum wheel is going to be for you to move to a 15 inch wheel and tire combo like the part #AM39053. This has the same 5 bolt pattern and a…

Yes, you can use a ST205/75R15 tire like the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part #AM10244 on a 15" diameter x 6" wide wheel like the Aluminum Sendel Series T02 Machined Trailer Wheel part #AM22653. We also offer this exact same…

With combination products like the Lynx wheel and ST205/75R15 tire #LHAW320 the lower-rated of the two component parts determines overall capacity. This tire can handle 2150-lbs at its rated 65-psi pressure but the wheel itself is indeed rated for…

Answer 7

I can see from your image you do have a 205/75R15 tire but I am unable to make out the exact load range for the tire. We have the Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range C #AM10244(1,820lbs) or Load Range D #AM10245(2,150lbs). Be sure…

Answer 8

The wheel and tire combos you mentioned would work great on your R-Pod. The part #AM39053 will look and work great and then the part #LHAW121 would work great as a spare. Since all 14 inch trailer wheels use the same bolt pattern as these we know…

Answer 10

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 11

Load range B trailer tires are going to have a lower capacity than C load range tires. Basically that, psi rating, and the ply rating are the only differences. A higher load range tire would last a little longer than lower load ranges of the same…

Answer 12

The three most common lug stud sizes for a trailer are 1/2"-20, 9/16"-18, and 5/8"-18. In order to make sure you get the correct lug nuts you need to measure the lug studs on the trailer now as we have no way to look this up for…
