Trailer Question
« on: Jul 17, 2006, 11:50 AM »
This may be the dumbest of the dumb questions.  I replaced a tire with rim on my small trailer last night and while the 4 holes matched up and I was able to get the tire on just fine I noticed the center part of the rim where the hub protrudes through the rim had more "wiggle" room than the rim I just removed.  Not a lot -maybe 1/16" all the way around, but the older tire didn't have that room.

I checked a number of hub assemblies and while they come in a variety of sizes to match your spindle they don't make any mention of the size of the hole in the center of the rim.

Does any of this matter.  Like I said, the tire went on and is secure meaning all 4 bolts fit nicely and cranked down tight with no problem.

Thank you Mac - you have been more help for my broken old boat and trailer than you know.
