You likely will not be able to find any wheels with a 4 on 4-5/8 bolt pattern. I can't say that I have ever heard of that size bolt pattern. You would need to switch the hubs. But to determine the correct replacement hubs I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings.

It is also possible that the trailer is old enough that it doesn't use common bearing sizes. If that ends up being the case the best solution is to replace the axle. That way you will have updated parts and it will be easy to find replacements. I have included a link to the axles that we carry.

If you can tell me the bearing numbers I can see if we have any hubs that will fit and you wouldn't have to replace the axle.
