Title: quick trailer rim size question
Post by: RockyCapone on April 26, 2013, 11:16:01 AM

Thinking of getting new rims for my trailer I researched and found out that more than likely the rims are 5 on 4.5, but what is the backspacing?

Might run with no hub caps for a while, looks totally old school. And was happier than a *** eating a hot dog when I saw it had bearing buddies.

And they only look good in the pics, otherwise they do have rust all over them.

Take one rim to a tire shop the will measure them for u other wise go from the center of the lug nut this will tell u what u have u could have ford rims or Chevy rims most trailers came with ford rims for some resion make them all Chevy rims.
