Question:
I’m trying to get a spare wheel for my Karavan small landscape trailer. I’ve measured the lugs and matched the tire size but just want to double check that this trailer will fit - happy to provide pics of the current wheel/load stickers if helpful. Thanks, Adam Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12 Galvanized Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D Part Number: AM31202

Hey Adam,
Trailer parts are not specific to each trailer, and it's very common for parts to be replaced after purchase so I'm not able to confirm sight unseen whether or not the Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D # AM31202 will work for your Karavan trailer. Instead, you can confirm a few things:
1. Wheel Size - Your wheel's diameter should be 12" across
2. Tire Size - The wall of your tire should read ST145/80R12
3. Bolt Pattern - Your wheel should have a 5-on-4-1/2" bolt pattern
Once those three things are confirmed, you can rest assured that this will be a perfect fit for your spare. I've listed a couple of links below on how to measure everything.
To go with your spare tire, I'd also recommend keeping an extra hub, center cap, and bearing kit available as well to protect you from the worst case scenario of hub or axle issues on the road. Here are options that will match that wheel:
Americana Trailer Wheel Center Cap - Stainless Steel - 3.19" Pilot # AM90175
Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # TRU66AV
Hub Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles - 3,500 lb with #84 Spindle # BK2-100
Is this a full-time work trailer or is it just for occasional use? What do you usually haul with that trailer?

Make sure to measure the bolt pattern. Double check the type of tire you want. Highway use or small city use. Heavy loads or light loads? I got exactly what I wanted and shipped fast. Great service!
