Switching From 12 Inch To 13 Inch Wheel On Trailer

Question:

I currently use a 4.80-12 tire on the 12wheel with a 4 bolt pattern see attached image. Is there a 13inch wheel with the same bolt pattern that will fit the original hub or will I end up switching hubs and probably axles to accommodate the larger 13inch wheel? I like that there appear to be more options for the 13inch tire category.

We do indeed offer 13 inch wheel/tire combos that use a 4 lug on 4 inch bolt circle, click the provided link. If you're wanting a white powder coated steel wheel with a Load Range B tire, use part # AM3S030 or part # AM3S120 for a load range C tire. These tires are size 175/80-13, and are right at 24 inches in diameter, versus 20.5 inches for your existing tire, so you'll want to make sure you have enough clearance at the fender for a taller tire.

I'll link you to a help article that contains more information about trailer tires.
