Can a Trailer Install an Axle that Measures 4 inches Longer Overall

Question:
My trailer is 56 inches from hub, the 4 inch differences, would it matter?

If the 48 inch spring center dimension of the Axle part # 20440I-ST-60 matches what your old axle has this axle will fit your trailer. Since the hub face dimension is 4 inches total longer you would end up with your wheels/tire sticking out 2 inches further on your trailer. If that wouldn't interfere with anything like fenders then the axle would work just fine.
