Question:

I have an old vintage trailer that needs new tires. The size is P185/80R13. I wanted to replace the wheels with the tires but I cant find a 13 wheel with 5 bolt 4,5 and a 2.5 pilot hole. Can you help?

Expert Reply:

I spoke with my trailer tire and wheel expert and he stated that the pilot hole diameter is not an issue with a trailer wheel of this size. You can use a wheel with a pilot diameter between 2-1/2 to 4 inches. The reason is that the wheels this size are stud piloted and not hub piloted meaning that they do not rely on the hub to center the wheel.

So for 13 inch wheel and tire with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you can use Loadstar, # AM3S331 or# AM3S334.
