We do have the Fulton Single Axle Trailer Fender with Top and Side Steps # F008582 that will measure 7-1/2" wide, but they are going to be for a 12" wheel. I included a diagram with all the measurements for you to take a look at as well.

If you have 15" wheels, the 10-1/4" Fulton # F008585 will be the only option we currently have available in black plastic.

Answer 5

The two tire sizes you referenced, 4.80-12 and 5.30-12, both fit 4-inch wide rims, but they differ in their overall diameter. A 4.80-12 tire/wheel when fully inflated will have a diameter of 20-1/2-inches while the 5.30-12 size will be just under…
