Question:
Is the wheel hub-centric or lug-centric? I’m swapping from an older 15 inch steel setup on homemade trailer. thx

Good question, Terry. Like most trailer wheels, the # MXS59FR uses a lug-centric design, meaning it centers on the 1/2-20 conical lug nuts, not the hub. The 3.19 inch pilot hole just needs to clear your hub nose. Torque them to 90–120 ft-lbs and recheck after 50 miles.
Do you already have a torque wrench on hand, or would you like me to suggest one that works well for trailer lugs?
