Question:

where can I find hub and spindle kits to fit my factory wheels from 2006 Honda Rincon? Bolt pattern is 4 on 4 3/8 with a 2 inch center hole. I am wanting to build acustom atv trailer with the wheels and tires I already have.

Expert Reply:

The bolt pattern of 4 on 4 3/8 inch isn't a standard bolt pattern for trailer hubs so you won't be able to find a hub to fit it. Plus, we don't recommend the use of passenger vehicle rims for trailers. So basically I have a solution for you that I can provide, but it will involve using trailer rims and tires.

For an axle system for an off-road trailer I like the Timbren Axle-Less Systems like part # ASR2KHDS03. This is a 2k rated "axle" that is designed for wider tires and will give the trailer a 4 inch lift.

For hubs to fit the spindles you would want the part # 84545UC1-EZ. These have a bolt pattern of 5 on 4-1/2 inches. I attached a page that has all of the trailer rims and tires designed to fit that bolt pattern.
