Replacement Wheels and Tires For Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly

Question

Question:

I found a wheel that has all of the same spec’s with the exception of the offset being +44mm instead of the listed +42mm. Will this work on my Karkaddy SS? Thanks

I recommend staying with one of the Demco specific wheels we carry. We have a Chrome Wheel # DM11574 that are the exact fit for your Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045.

We do carry the ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" Chrome Wheel for Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM5968 that is already mounted. Or you can get the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # AM10234 for mounting to either of the wheels listed above.

As the manufacturer does not list using a wheel with a +44mm offset I am hesitant if there will be any fitment issues with using that wheel you found.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
