I wish I could help but all of our 12" diameter trailer wheels are 4" wide. If you can give me your bolt pattern and tire size I can then see if we have other options.

I have great news for you, the ST145/R12 tires you have now will work with the 12" diameter x 4" wide wheels we offer. This is actually the ideal wheel size for this size tire. I recommend the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Split Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM22319HWT because it has an aluminum construction which will be perfect for a watercraft trailer and it is rather stylish compared to most other trailer wheels. If you are looking to save money, the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20134 is less stylish but is still very effective option for your boat trailer due to the galvanized finish.
