Question:

I’m in the process of building a utility trailer from an old pop up. What is the back spacing of 8”x7” wheel? I want to put a wider tire on it so it floats in soft conditions. I just don’t want to buy that wheel and have it not work.

If you are referring to the Kenda 215/60-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" White Wheel part # AM3H290 then the backspacing will be 4". This however is not a constant amongst all 8" diameter x 7" wide trailer wheels as the offset will affect backspacing if present. A positive offset will move the wheel closer to the trailer whereas a negative offset will move the wheel further away from the trailer.

I have attached a review video for you as well.
