Question:

I was looking to purchase a couple hubs and two sets of dually wheels from your website, but I want to make sure the parts are compatible first. I already have the 6K Dexter axle, but I wanted to use part# 8-219-4UC3-EZ hub with part# AC16R488 wheel and tire combo. Will this wheel work with the hub? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

In order to run dual wheels and tires on a 6K axle what we have is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-219-18UC3 which uses 5/8" lug studs and has a 4.75" pilot. This will then work with the Dexstar Dual Wheel with Offset part # AM20783 and you can add the Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire part # TTWTRTM2358016E to complete the setup.

The parts you mentioned were not compatible, they did not have the same pilot nor even the same lug size.
