Question:
Question about rim AM20023. On my trailer a regular golf car rim the tire hits on the frame. Does this rim have a shorter mounting distance on one side. My original rim does and has valve stem on both sides. This AM3H300 looks to be the same as my damaged one.

Expert Reply:
The Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 7" Rim - 4 on 4 - Galvanized Finish # AM20023 has the same wheel dimensions as the # AM3H300. These wheels do not have a valve stem on both sides, but only on the outside. They have zero offset, so the mounting surface is centered between the front and back.
For a thinner wheel and tire combination that will fit, I recommend the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel - 4 on 4 - Load Range C # AM30130. This tire will have a width of 5.9 inches when inflated to give you that extra clearance you need from your frame.
