Review of Maxion Wheels - Vesper Silver Steel Modular Wheel - MX59FR Video

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…

Since you believe your wheel has a zero offset (mounting pad of wheel is equidistant along width of rim) I wouldn't recommend going with the #AM20797 wheel with the positive offset as it will move the wheel 1/2 inch closer to the trailer…

Trailer or automotive wheels can have a positive or negative offset. The offset refers to the distance between the mounting surface of the wheel that touches the hub and the center line of the wheel, as shown in the diagram I have edited for you. A…

Since wire colors on trailer wiring aren't standardized you will need to test the wires on your trailer to determine their function before you can wire them to a trailer. An easy way to do this is to use a 12 volt battery and a jumper wire to…

For a 15 inch steel trailer wheel that uses 1/2 inch lug nuts like the one in tire and wheel combo #A225R645SWM the lug nuts should be torqued to 90 to 120 foot pounds. I have also included a picture of a handy lug nut torque chart for reference. If…

It looks like you have a split spoke aluminum wheel that is not unlike the wheels we carry. For the 8-lug wheels that are similar to yours we recommend trailer wheel lug nut #AM26NR which does have the proper 1/2 inch -20 size and the standard…

The Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier #3375201012 secures into the stake pocket it installs in by using the included L-bracket to bolt it to the bottom of the pocket opening. It would take a thief having the right size wrench on them…

The Buyers Products Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier #3375201012 fits most standard 3-1/2 in. and 3-3/4 in. stake pockets. It is compatible with 5 on 4-1/2 inch, 5 on 5 inch, 6 on 5-1/2 inch, and 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt patterns.

To measure the width of a trailer wheel you will measure from where the tire beads will seat on the wheel. That will be from the inside of the inner wheel flange to the inside of the outer wheel flange, not from edge to edge of the wheel. To measure…

I definitely understand how safety chain capacities and determining exactly what chain rating you need for your trailer can be a bit confusing. To keep it as simple as possible, safety chain requirements state that the breaking strength of EACH…

Personally I prefer the Demco Trailer Coupler #DM14976-52 with the composite handle over the Coupler #DM15791-81 with a metal handle. I feel it is easier to operate as it does not have the safety latch like you get on the metal handle. Since most…

The four rims you referenced are all VERY similar. They are all the same size, bolt pattern, pilot diameter, and very similar finishes. The #AM20797 has a 3,750 lb capacity and has a bit of flake in the powdercoat. The #AM20794 has a 3,960 lb…
