Complete Breakdown of the Optronics LED Mini Clearance or Side Marker Trailer Light Video

I reached out to Dexter and found that the UFP-HD-1877-10 fits a standard 3,500 lb axle. For a hub and drum replacement you can use the #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K or for a galvanized option #AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K. Then for hydraulic drum brakes you can use the…

I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common…

The wheels are hub-centric. The wheel bolts instead of lug nuts is the only clue needed. A hub-centric wheel centers on the hub using the pilot hole and hub so it would be a snug fit. You could still use a lug-centric wheel as long as the pilot hole…

I'm going to be perfectly honest...the risk is pretty minimal BUT due to the construction differences between bias ply and radial tires the sidewalls do end up flexing differently which could in turn end up with unpredictable ride…

First, I would say if there is any question on the road worthiness of the trailer, take the steps to correct it. Better safe than sorry. Some trailers have wheels that are hub-centric, the wheel is centered on the hub using the center pilot holes.…

It won't work because the problem typically is the bolt holes on the wheel. Lug centric wheels will have the cone shape to the bolt holes so that the matching lugs will center the wheel properly and then hub-centric won't have that same shape…

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…

Hello Steve, thanks for reaching out. All of the trailer tires we sell come balanced in the manner that trailer tires are balanced. Every tire and every wheel has a high (heavy) and low (light) spot. The manufacturers offset the high spot on the tire…

It is easy to tell which type of wheel you have on your boat trailer. Lug centric wheels slide onto studs on the hub and are secured with lug nuts, like a car tire. If a wheel is hub centric, the wheel centers on the hub and bolts are threaded into…

Hello Eugene, thanks for reaching out. I typically don't recommend using vehicle tires for a trailer build. Car tires are made for ride comfort, and they are not meant for hauling and bearing weight like trailer tires are. Generally, you would…

A spacer or hub-centric ring is sometimes used on passenger vehicles, but our resident wheel and tire guru tells me that they aren't needed for use on trailers, due to the weight load a trailer wheel will be under. If you feel you need them, you…

Trailer wheels and passenger car wheels are different and so are trailer tires and passenger car tires. Trailers wheels are tires are designed with different characteristics from vehicles wheels and tires since their functions are not exactly the…
