Replacement 13 Wheel Recommendation for Negative Offset Wheel with 5 Bolt Pattern
Updated 04/11/2024 | Published 04/03/2023
Question:
Have you seen a 13x4.5J 5x4.5 trailer wheel with a negative offset? I have an older Kendon trailer and everyone says I need a 1/4 spacer to fit a neutral offset wheel, was hoping i could run it without the spacers. Dont need a high load rating, the entire rig maxes out at 1000.

The best option we have for your application is a 0 offset wheel like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel # AM20253. Aside from that the only 13" offset wheels we have use a positive offset which is the wrong direction for you.
To determine whether you need the 1/4" spacers or not you need to measure where your tire sidewalls currently sit in relation to your fender or trailer frame. We recommend having about 2" of space to the tire sidewall to avoid wear so if you have about 2-1/4" of space then you shouldn't need the spacers. Just be sure whatever you're doing with one side of your trailer you also do to the other side to give your trailer tires the most consistent wear and load as possible.
