Hello Mr P,
I reached out to my contact at Malone, he informed me that on the EcoLight Trailers you cannot go larger than a 8" wheel. With that being said, you cannot put the # AM35354 on your EcoLight. For your Malone EcoLight I recommend the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM30070 as we do not have one in black.
What was the reason for the larger wheels?

Thanks Kate , I see that some of the Maloie trailers do have 12" wheels. Can I put the 12"wheels if I modify finders? Do I need to change hubs? 8" wheels are too small for any trailer. Malione needs to upgrade wheels for higher speed and long haul trips
