We do have some options for you to add a 5.7-8 size tire and a hub to your trailer.

For a wheel/tire combination I recommend going with the Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with Wheel # AM30155. This has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and comes with a load range of D (1,075 lbs at 100 psi).

Since 8" wheels are typically installed on 2,000 lb axles you would need the hub assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-1K if you have L44643 bearings or assembly # AKIHUB-545-2-EZ-2K for L44649 bearings. Both options have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern that matches up with the tire/wheel that I recommended.

If your bearings do not match either of these assemblies or you don't have a 2,000 lb axle just let me know what you have so I can make some different recommendations.
