Does 4 Lug 4.80-8 and 4.80-12 Wheel/Tire Combo Use Same Wheel Bolt Pattern

Question:

I have a boat trailer that has 4-80-8 4 lug wheel, can I put a 4-80-12 4 lug on the hub. I can move the fenders up if needed. I just need to know if the two as interchangeable.

If your 4.80-8 wheel/tire is mounted on a wheel with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern, then a 4.80-12 mounted on a wheel with a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern such as # AM30620 would indeed fit. The bolt pattern is the same, the only thing that changes is the size of the tire and the diameter of the wheel.
