Question:

I have an 2014 Acme Tow Dolly with 205/65-10 tires. Dont care for the 10inch wheels or tires. I would like to upgrade to your part # AM10140 and wheel # LH45FR. Would this be your recommendation ? ? ? ? Will this work as a direct replacement Diameter/ wheel setback/ Etc,. Last thought I have a spare tire that I carry 205/65-10 - Would the diameter of this tire be safe Compatible/ temporarily as a spare in an emergency after changing to your 12inch set up mentioned above ? ? ? And would you give me an idea on total price of tires/ wheels/ lug nuts / center caps. I think that would be a complete set up.

I think you will be in great shape using the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range E # AM10140 and the aluminum wheel # LH45FR on your tow dolly. These rims have a 5 on 4" bolt pattern so if that matches your tow dolly the rims are a match as well. This combination is 21.3" tall yours is 20.49". With that said you will want to ensure that by adding a 3/8" of an inch to the top of the tire on your current set up does not put the tire too close to the fender if one exists on your dolly.

This tire offers a capacity of 1,520 lbs at 80 psi so be sure that this is in line with your current tire but a combined 3040 lb. capacity should cover the requirements you have.

As for the center cap use the Trailer Wheel Center Cap part # 319EZ and for the lug nuts Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug part # 12CLN will do the job.
