Question:

Hi, can I use these hubs for a 8” boat trailer tire? Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Item # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K

Expert Reply:

While there is a similar option for you, the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2,000-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K is only for 10" to 12" wheels. For an option that will work with 8" wheels, uses the same L44643 bearings, and is galvanized, what you need is the following:

- CE Smith Trailer Idler Hub Assembly w/ Case for 2.5K Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized - Pre-Greased # CE13215

The # CE13215 says it is for 2,500 lb axles, but fits the exact same spindle as the # AKIHUB-545-2-G-1K, just with a slightly higher weight capacity.
