Recommendations for Spare Wheel on 1965 Lil Loafer Trailer

Updated 10/12/2017 | Published 10/11/2017

Question:

My 65 Lil Loafer trailer needs a spare rim. I have a new tire for this eventual rim that is ST 175/80R13 but measuring the bolt pattern on the existing trailer wheel center of bolt to center of bolt comes up 4.5 not the assumed 4 for my 4 bolt rim. Seems like there is no such rim on the market as a 4.5 x 4 lug. Am I measuring wrong? Can you find out the wheel specs for this Lil Loafer 65? Thanks for any help in advance! Really appreciate it

I've attached an article to help you determine the bolt pattern of your wheel to see if it is a 4 on 4 inch or not. If it is, I recommend the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 4 on 4 - Black # AM20242 for your spare tire. If it is not, then I recommend considering changing your hubs so you can use standard trailer sizes as we have nothing that will fit a 4 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Let me know if you are interested in upgrading your trailer hubs and I will be happy to assist.
