Question:

I aquired a 1979 neck over trailer with older split rims. Im wanting to put new wheels on the trailer, but the center hub is 4 3/4 inches and all the wheels I have looked at are 4.88 to 4.9. Center bore. For 7000 lb axles, would that be a problem, or is it best if a stay with the correct bore center?

Expert Reply:

We carry rims with a 4.75 pilot hole, like # LHHA420, and # AM20783, however they're both for dual wheel applications and have an offset.

Using a wheel with a 4.75 or 4.77 pilot will be just fine since there's such a small difference. It's likely the measured hole is the same just estimated on the 4.75.
