There are a couple factors that play a part in if you are able to swap your tires from 8 inches to 12 inch. If you're running an 8 inch wheel odds are that you have a single axle trailer so that shouldn't be an issue. If you have fenders on your trailer you may need to remove them. If that isn't a problem then you have two bolt pattern options. 5 on 4-1/2 or 4 on 4.

Both bolt pattern options will have an overall diameter of 21.3 inches so you can use that to see how much height you will add to your trailer. For 5 on 4-1/2 get these # AM31202 and for 4 on 4 get these # AM31208HWTB.

Both look awesome and I've included a video of them both to get a closer look!
