Availability Of a 12 Inch Wheel With 4on4 Inch Bolt Pattern and 2.5 Inch Pilot Hole For 4.80-12 Tire

Question

Question:

Do you have this wheel/tire combo with a 12inch tire? Center hole pilot hole HAS to be 2.5inch Its 4 on 4 lug BOLT style. Or atleast have the rims? 20+ yrs ago i got a free fixer upper 4x8 trailer. For the wheels, i put on- 4.80x12 so it would ride level with a CENTER HOLE pilot hole of 2.5inch so they once made this rim... Son has it now, wants to put new wheels on it, but the only 12- 4 on 4 wheels rims can find have center/pilot hole of 2.84 and leaves to much of a gap around hub for lug BOLT style. Hes just gonna swap the rubber for now, but would like to have a spare. Summarized- Looking for wheel/rim- 4.80x12 / 4 on 4 lug pattern, lug BOLT style / with a 2.5inch center/pilot hole. Thanks

We do have the Taskmaster Steel 8-Spoke Trailer Wheel # TA39RR which is 12" with a 4 on 4" bolt pattern and the 2.5" pilot hole diameter. As this is the only way we have this wheel you will need to add either the Load Rang B # AM10060 or Load Range C # AM10062 trailer tire.

All of the 12 inch wheels with 4 on 4 bolt pattern that we carry have a pilot hole that is 2.8 inches or greater. If the wheel bolts have a 60 degree cone (like #RG02-020 as an example) then the bolts will be able to center the wheel on a hub-centric…

Since you have wheel bolts instead of lug nuts to secure the wheels of your trailer you will need to find a wheel with the exact same size pilot hole since your wheels are hub-centric, meaning they center on hub with the pilot hole. Of the 12 inch…

Answer 6

Actually, no, this is not going to work for you. The problem is that on wheels and hubs that use wheel bolts instead of lug nuts to secure the wheel to the hub, the pilot hole has to be exact because that is how it centers on the hub. Even if it…

A spacer or hub-centric ring is sometimes used on passenger vehicles, but our resident wheel and tire guru tells me that they aren't needed for use on trailers, due to the weight load a trailer wheel will be under. If you feel you need them, you…

Answer 8

The pilot diameter is measured as the diameter of the large hole in the center of the wheel. The Dexstar #AM20790 steel dual trailer wheel you referenced has a 4.88 pilot diameter. So which pilot diameter would you need? To figure that out, I would…

If the wheels of your trailer get secured with bolts instead of lug nuts then you have a hub-centric setup. If instead there are lug nuts then it is lug centric. If you have a hub centric setup the pilot diameter of the wheels much match the…
