Upgrading PWC Loadrite Trailer Tires from 4.80-8 Size to 4.80-12 Size

Question:
Hello, I have 4.80-8 wheels on my PWC Loadrite trailer. I am thinking about upgrading to bigger tires. Will 4.80-12 wheels fit? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
Your current 4.80-8 size trailer tires have an overall diameter of just over 16-inches. The 4.80-12 size you are considering has an overall diameter of 20-1/2-inches. You will need to make sure that you will have enough clearance at the fenders for the larger diameter tires. You will also want to check for enough room for normal suspension travel.
The part you referenced, Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire # AM30030, has a 5-on-4-1/2-inch bolt pattern.
