Question:

I have a Harbor Freight trailer that I would like to put larger tires on, preferable 14 since I have them. However my current wheels have an offset making the distance between wheels less then 49 so they are too narrow to fit. The question I have is your axle Item # e84YR 60 with wheels Item # AM20365 when installed ,what is the distance between wheels? Is it greater than 49, preferable about 50+ inches. Thank you

There will be 54" between the backs of two of the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel item # AM20365 when installed on the 60" Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs item # e84YR. This is without the tires so when you add rubber to the item # AM20365 you should be closer to 52" or 53". Either way you'll have plenty of clearance and your wheels won't stick out too far and look weird.
