Question:

I was looking at the product AKIHUB-555-35-K. I have a 2002 Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 with matching trailer. It has a 5 on 5.5 lug pattern and the rim is 11 inches diameter. The tires are 20.5 x 8.0-10 Will this product work for me or what is the correct product I need. I also need tires if you carry them. Thanks.

Selecting replacement idler hubs for your boat trailer requires matching up a few things to ensure compatibility. You need to match up the bearings, wheel bolt pattern and the weight capacity. Your axle's rating should be noted on a sticker or plate right on the axle beam. You also want to ensure the new hub will work with your wheel size. The part you referenced has your 5-on-5-1/2 lug pattern but will not work with wheels smaller than 14-inches.

The four 5-on-5-1/2 idler hubs we offer can be seen by clicking on the linked page. All use inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # L44649. If your current hubs use these bearings then these will fit on your spindles.

Your tire size 20.5 x 8 - 10 indicates that you have 10-inch wheels and the modern metric equivalent of this size is ST205/65-10. Tires in this size are shown on the other linked page, such as the Load Range E-rated # AM1HP56.

I linked an article on tire sizing for your reference.
