Hey James, I'd suggest going with the Ultra-Fab Steel Jumbo Roller for Trailers and RVs # UF48-979023. These wheels are 3" wide, are made of steel, and would get welded on to the trailer frame.
We do have other options as well if you don't want to weld anything. If you have a 2" trailer hitch, then the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector # RM-050 would be a great option, or, if you don't have a hitch, but you have a 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" bumper, the Ultra-Fab Rotating, Hitch Mounted Skid Wheels for RVs up to 30' Long # UF48-979014 would be the better choice.
What kind of trailer do you have? Do you haul anything interesting? Let me know in the comments if there is anything else I can help you with!
