I went out to the warehouse to measure one of the wheels for you. The Steel Trailer Wheel - 8" x 3-3/4" Rim # AM20006 will only fit hubs that are up to 5-3/4 inches diameter. Your 10 inch wheels will be the smallest wheels that will fit on your hubs.

To get into your garage you be able to remove air from your tires and then re-inflate once inside. I recommend being careful if you go that route simply because the sidewall of your tire can be damaged if there is not proper inflation under the weight of the trailer.
