Hey Richard. We do not have a rim that large with a 2.8" pilot hole. A 2.8" pilot hole will typically be found on wheels in the 8" to 10" range. All of our 14" or 15" trailer wheels like the item # AM20522 you were looking at are lug centric and are centered by the torque of the lug bolts. The pilot hole size is less important than that on vehicle wheels, which are hub centric and use the pilot hole to center the wheel.

What kind of trailer do you have?

Hi Jerred, Thank you for your response and information regarding the lug centric aspect on trailer wheels. I have an old single axle, 4x8 utility trailer I purchased from an old timer. He made it himself and it is heavy duty ( 2x3 squre tubing...3500 lb axle i'm guessing) It really needs a complete overhaul to be safe- hubs, springs, rims, and tires. I'm looking to replace everything as my budget allows. I will start with the hubs and figure out the dimensions I need. I will reach out as needed. Thank you for your excellent customer service. Richard

@RichardR You're welcome! I can help you with all of those parts when you're ready. If you want to start with the hubs, I would just need to know the bearing sizes. Hopefully you'll get lucky and there will be part numbers stamped into the sides of them. If not you'll need to measure the spindle with a digital caliper like item # PTW80157.
