Expert Reply:

Curt Class II ball mount # C45510 will actually be a little better with ground clearance compared to Euro drawbar # C45591 because it doesn't stick out as far and does not have as much of the steel shank below the ball.

Answer 1

I may have a solution for you, but we don't have any Euro style drawbars with a 7" rise and after doing some digging I'm not quite sure they are available that tall . With that said, you may be able to use the Curt #C45591 which has a…

Answer 2

The importance of matching a wheel's pilot hole diameter to the part of the hub that fits through it depends on the type of wheel. A hub-centric wheel uses the pilot hole to center the wheel on the hub and also to bear some of the total weight…

Answer 3

Wheel center caps are chosen based on the diameter of the wheel's pilot hole (the hole in the center of the wheel) as shown in the picture I linked for you. You'll just want to measure your wheels' pilot holes. If you need a digital…

Answer 4

The pilot hole on a wheel is the big center hole right in the middle of the wheel. It fits over the hub.. It can be tough to measure these with the wheel still on the trailer so you will want to remove the wheel and then it will be easier to measure.…

Answer 5

The only time you have to match up the pilot hole is when your hub uses lug bolts, which then would use a hub-centric wheel. As long as your trailer hub uses lug nuts, the pilot hole will not effect mounting your wheel to the trailer hub because the…

Answer 6

A larger pilot hole on a wheel like part #LH45FR will not pose a problem if the wheel is held in place with the lug bolts. The only time the pilot hole would be an issue is if it is smaller than the trailer hub diameter or if you use bolts to attach…

The pilot diameter on a wheel, like the one with part #AM30620, is the diameter of the bigger hole that is directly in the middle of the wheel. The pilot hole diameter of the wheel for the part I just measured is 2.84". I have attached a picture…

There is not a standard pilot size, but passenger vehicle wheels are almost always lug centric so it wouldn't be a concern. The concern I will mention is that for trailer tires you're going to want to use tires that are designed specifically…

Answer 9

Hi Tony, The pilot hole (large center hole) on the tire/wheel combos we carry with the 5.30-12 tire size can either be 2.84 inches or the smaller and less common, 2.52 inches. There is only one 4-lug wheel configuration, that being the 4 on 4 bolt…

Answer 10

The 2.8" pilot hole will typically be found on wheels in the 8" to 10" range, so having it on a 12" wheel is a little odd. With that being said, most trailer wheels, if not all in this size, are lug centric and are centered by the…

Answer 11

Yes, everyone of the 12 inch diameter trailer wheels we offer that have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the part #AM20153 that you referenced have a pilot diameter of 3.19 inches. I attached a link to a page that has all of the rims you are…

Answer 12

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
