For the #84 E-Z Lube Spindle # TRU87FR, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 84545UC1-EZ. This hub will include all the bearing races, bearings, lug nuts, grease seal, spindle nut, retaining washer, and dust cap with removable rubber insert for easy access to fill the hub from the grease zerk on the spindle.

If you are using this for a boat trailer or area where it will be subject to a lot of salt exposure the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K is galvanized for better corrosion resistance. It includes the bearing races, bearings, lug nuts, grease seal, and dust cap with removable insert. You will need a Spindle Nut # 165686 and Tang Washer # 5-101 to attach the hub to the spindle.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
