Question:

Can I use these on my 5,200-lb axles with electric brakes?

Absolutely, Brian - this combo # MXS99FR is ideal for 5,200- to 6,000-lb axles. The 15 inch x 6 inch black modular steel wheel and tire are rated at 2,830 lbs each, which pairs perfectly with your 5,200lb axle. It uses 1/2"-20 conical lug nuts, and the wheel’s 4.29" pilot diameter fits perfectly over standard 6-lug trailer hubs. Electric brakes don’t affect compatibility - just ensure your hub pilot is 4.29" or smaller for the wheel to seat properly.

Would you like me to link the correct torque pattern and lug nut style for these wheels?
