Question:
I have a gooseneck lowboy that has 16 in load range G tires that are stud pilot Wheels.. can I buy 17.5 wheels that would fit my larger Hub diameter of 4.9 or do I have to replace the entire axles in order to put the 17.5 s on my trailer or could I possibly buy a new hubs to fit my axles that would have the 4.75 Center needed for the 17.5 wheels

Expert Reply:
All of the trailer wheels we offer that are 17.5 inch in diameter are hub-piloted like the Taskmaster Solid Center Wheel # TA45ZR that you referenced. At the very least you'd have to go with new hubs that match this style of wheel as there wouldn't be a way to use your current hubs.
