Trailer Wheels

FIND WHEELS FOR YOUR TRAILER

Trailer wheels play a vital role towing your trailer smoothly and safely, providing stability and support to the trailer as well as the cargo. They come in varied sizes and styles depending on the particular of the trailer and its expected use. They generally consist of a durable metal rim, such as steel or aluminum, which secure the tire in place. Many trailer wheels have attractive features like hubcaps but their fundamental function is to ensure a secure and safe connection with the towing vehicle.

When choosing a trailer wheel, it is important to consider the following factors: trailer weight capacity, tire type and size, and any requirement for the trailer´s intended use. Like any other wheel, proper maintenance and care is necessary to make sure they stay in good working conditions.

How do I know what wheels fit my trailer?

The first thing to do is to check the owner´s manual for your trailer, it will show recommended wheel size, weight capacity and lug pattern. If you do not have the manual or the original wheels, contact the trailer manufacturer for the correct information.

Another option is to measure the existing wheels, get the exact size, and lug pattern. Not choosing the correct size of wheels for your trailer could cause issues with the trailer´s brakes and suspension. Make sure the wheels have the correct weight capacity, if not it could break.

Can you use regular wheels on a trailer?

If we are talking about car wheels then the answer is no. Trailer wheels are specifically designed to manage the load and the weight of the trailer, and they have different lug patterns. Trying to use car wheels on a trailer could result in an unsafe and unpredictable connection, since they are not equipped to manage the exclusive demands of towing a trailer.
