Can Trailer Tire Size 20.5x8-8 be Replaced with 20.5x8-10 on Snowmobile Trailer
Updated 01/19/2021 | Published 01/16/2021 >
Question:
I just bought an older 1994 triton snowmobile trailer that needs new tires. It currently has 20.5x8-8 tires on it with what seems to measure a 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Can I go to a 20.5x8-10 tire and wheel, or is there a +1 size that could get me a little bigger tire?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You'd lose about 1 inch of fender space going to the bigger tire size 20.5x8-10 which if that's not an issue you'd be totally fine to upgrade.
For a wheel and tire in this size that has the correct bolt pattern you could use the part # AM3H490 and you'd be set.
