Is There a 5 x 100 Lug Pattern For Hubs For 2,200 lb, 60 Inch Trailer Axle

Question

Question:

Hello. I am needing to replace a damaged axle on my small boat / large jetski trailer. current is 60 hub flange to hub flange. I am wanting to totally reconfigure its ride. I really want to run some cool looking subaru wheels that are 5 on 100 lug pattern. I will probably need to get a slightly longer axle due to increased offset wheels. I do not need brakes. I want to run a 4 dexter either 2200# or 3500# if I can get hubs that fit the 5x100 lug pattern. metric studs ? what do you have ? or what exists ? thank you :-

Trailer hubs do not come with a 5 on 100 lug pattern so unfortunately it just isn't an option. You can still get some cool looking wheels with a standard 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern hub like the Trailer Hub Assembly # 8-258-50UC1-EZ which fits the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 60" Long - 2,200 lbs # T20BTR-EZ-6048.

For example something like the Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02455545BMFL, Sendel Series T07 Black Machined Trailer Wheel # AM25DR, or Liger Trailer Wheel # LH34FR.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern to check out as well.

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…

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…

To determine the size of the hub assembly you need to purchase you have to determine which bearings are in the old assembly. If the old assembly has L44649 inner bearings, you would use the hub you chose #8-258-5UC1. If the inner bearings are marked…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

I have attached a chart you can check out that describes the torque needed per wheel size, wheel stud size and material. For an 8-inch wheel with a 1/2-inch wheel stud the torque is 75 to 86 ft-lbs. For a 15 inch steel wheel with 1/2 inch wheel studs…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

The UFP H-1377 correlates to a Dexter #84 spindle, which is for a 3,500 pound axle. This will utilize an inner bearing #L68149 and an outer bearing #L44649. As this is being used on a boat trailer, I highly suggest going with the etrailer.com…
