Question:

What rims in the 12” and 13” size can you pair with your baby moon hub caps? Also I have 12” bolt on rims now will I need to change the hubs to accommodate the rim and baby moon upgrade if available ?

Expert Reply:

There are not 12 inch wheel available in the style you desire, however there are 13 inch wheels. I recommend the Dexstar Conventional Steel Wheel with Offset - 13" x 4-1/2" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Black # AM20214. We have the combined wheel and tire option for you in the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Black Wheel with +.5 Offset - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM31241 rated for a maximum load of 1610 lbs at 65 psi each.

Then you can use the Americana Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Chrome-Plated Steel - Qty 1 # AM90086 or the Americana Pointed Top Baby Moon Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Chrome Plated Steel - Qty 1 # AM981306.

These wheels will have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern that your hubs will need to match. In order to get you the proper hub replacements, I need some information on the bearings in your current hubs. There is a number on the face of the inner and outer bearing of each hub that will help get the right assemblies for your spindles.

If you can't get the bearing numbers, then you will need to use a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to measure your spindles where the bearings ride on the spindle. I've attached a photo to help.
