Can Replacement Wheel with Zero Offset Be Used on Demco Kar Kaddy SS

Published 07/11/2024

Question:

I have a 2012 Demco SS with drum brakes and chrome (rusty) wheels. The wheels have deteriorated to the point that I need to replace them. Is it possible to use the wheel below in your inventory even though it has 0 offset vs.Demco white wheel listed with +42mm offset? Currently the existing wheels extent sightly beyond the fender so it is only the inside clearance that could be a concern.

Hey Pete, thanks for reaching out!

As long as you're replacing all of the wheels with the Aluminum Sendel Hi-Spec Series 03 Mod Trailer Wheel # AM22327 it will be safe to switch to the zero offset. If you were to use a zero offset with a positive offset then that would cause issues with tracking and tire performance.

John Yes, I plan to replace both wheels. I have one halfway decent OE wheel that I will use as an emergency spare Have always liked working with E Trailer and getting quick/accurate information
