Question:
What is the smallest wheel that will fit over my 10 brake drums? Building a sailboat trailer and smaller wheels/tires will aid in launching without frame extension. Thanks, Jeff

Hey Jeff, for 10 inch brake drums like what is found on 3,500 lb axles the 13 inch diameter wheel size like the part # AM31990 would be the smallest.
