Boat Trailer Rims

I have 10 inch Mini wheels on my boat trailer and am having trouble finding tyres at a reasonable cost. Will any other 4 stud wheels, maybe 13 inch, bolt on to my existing hubs?

Sometimes the fenders can be adjusted if you need more room for the taller wheels.

The 10" wheels were meant to give your rig a lower profile for whatever reason.

I think that it would be a good idea to go to the biggest wheel that will fit.

This would mean less chance of bearing failure and easier retrieval out of the water at rough ramps.

I agree with 45 Cal. Any 4 lug wheel should fit. Wal Mart has the best price on galvanized ones with the tire.

A sneek peek at our quarterly series!

I have a 12 foot boat trailer that I bought to haul my aluminum boat. The trailer is home made. I need a spare tire and rim for the trailer, but I have a problem. The rims on the trailer are split rim style, not split ring. No places around me have a rim like this and most have never seen this style before. Driving out to the country to find a rim like this is out of the question. The rim is held on by the nut and cotter key. It would be cheaper and easier to just by a different trailer than refabricate this trailer. How can I get a rim for this trailer?

It sounds to me as though you have wheels for a piece of farm equipment, as they have wheels like that. I suggest that you get a new axle as the small wheels that you have will wear out quickly and do not have water-proof hubs. You will always be messing around with the wheels and bearings.

I have a small old boat trailer with hubs that measure 2-1/2".

However, new tires come with a hole in the rim that measures 2-5/8".

Why the 1/8" discrepency?

Does anybody know what's what on this deal?

Thanks.

There is no standard size. Different manufacturers have different sizes.

They don't make rims for my size of hubs anymore, so I need to get new hubs. Where do I measure to find the right ones?
I measured the race, but now I can't find anything online that matches that measurement, 1 3/16".

Has to be the same size as the bearing race. You can measure it.

Hello ,

Measure center to center exactly . one hole to the other and diagonal . Look at the tire size and or bring the tire with for that match . The bolt patern is needed . Bring the other rim and tire to a shop and have the tire shop tell you ,, that would be the safest way to go rather than measure yourself without experience .
