Expert Reply:
It is very likely you can swap out the 6 lug hubs of your trailer with an 8 lug hub but it does come down to what axle capacity you have to determine what you need. If you check out the link I attached on this page you'll see all of the 8 lug hubs we carry. You'll need to select the axle capacity you have on the filters on the page to see what hubs will fit.
