How to Pick Out a 5 on 5 inch Hub for a M416 Trailer

Updated 01/05/2015 | Published 01/04/2015

Question:

I am looking for hubs that fit the stock axle of an M416 trailer, but with a 5x5 bolt pattern. Do you all carry anything like this? The wheels I am trying to use are stock JK Wrangler Rubicon wheels. Thank you.

In order to pick out the correct hub assembly for a trailer you are going to need know a few key pieces of information.

You will need to know what spindle you have on your trailer. In order to do that you can either get the inner and outer bearing numbers from a hub or use a dial caliper to get exact measurements of the spindle. The measurements needed are the parts of the spindle where the bearings ride.

If you get back to me with that information I will help you pick out the right hub assemblies. Or, you can follow the link I attached that will take you to the page that has all of our replacement hubs.

The link I attached to the right has all of the 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern hubs we carry. Hopefully the bearing numbers you pulled are L68149 inner and L44649 outer as this combo is the only one we have with a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern.

However, since I cannot recommend you use passenger vehicle wheels on a trailer you would not be limited by the bolt pattern since you will have to upgrade to trailer wheels anyway. Email me back with the info on your current bearings/spindle dimensions and I'll set you up with everything you need.
