Question:
Im building a small trailer and need to know the differences in 20.5X8.00-10 tire/rim and 5.30x12 sizes and fitment. The 20.5 are much more heavy duty and load E so like to use these. Will the hubs be the same? Do I just got to make sure tire not hitting frame? see link for tire...do you folks sell this?

Expert Reply:
The difference in size is not drastic enough to prevent one from fitting in place of the other. The diameters are within 1.4 inches of being the same so as long as you match the bolt pattern and the frame is rubbing like you mentioned you'd be fine.
For the wider 20.5 x 8 -10 we have the part # AM3H490 for if you have a 5 lug bolt pattern or part # AM3H440 for a 4 lug pattern. We don't carry the exact tire you mentioned.
