Offset Trailer Wheel Availability
Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/06/2024
Question:
I have a 1970 Jaco pop up camper I have made into a utility trailer. Original tires and wheels 18.5x8.5x8. These rims appear to have a 1 1/2 inch offset. 2 inch on the inside and 3 1/2 on the outside. The trailer has torsion suspension. I want to upgrade to 20.5x8x10 tire and hole rims. I don’t believe your rims without the offset will clear the torsion arms. I have 4 1/2 inches from outside off bearing hub to the torsion arm. Do you have any alternatives for me. Thank You Bill

I wish we could help but we only have zero offset wheels at this time. Older trailers like what you have generally have unique setups that just aren't available anymore.
