I need to replace the tires on my 5 by 8 trailer. The tires ar 13,I found a set that is 12. Can I put them on or are they to small? Thankyou...

Helpful Expert Reply:
As long as the bolt pattern of the rims you are currently looking at is the same as the bolt pattern of your old rims yes, you could go from a 13 inch wheel down to a 12 inch wheel. The overall diameter of the new tires will be a couple inches smaller but that shouldn't be a problem.
I attached an FAQ article on determining bolt patterns for you to check out as well.
I also attached a page that has all of the 12 inch trailer wheel and tires we offer.
