Expert Reply:
I do have options for you but the smallest wheel size you can use with a 7" hub/drum assembly like the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles part # 8-257-5UC3 is 10" diameter. Therefore, you have the option of either upgrading to 10" diameter wheel/tire like the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel part # AM3H430 which has a load range c rating of 1,320 lbs per side or you can switch to an idler hub setup with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-2-1K which has 1/2" lug studs and accepts 8-12" diameter wheels.
