- Count Studs: Confirm your wheel hub has 5 studs.
- Measure PCD: Measure the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) to ensure it is 165.1mm (6.5 inches).
- Verify Load Rating: Check that the tyre's load capacity (900kg per wheel) meets or exceeds the trailer's plated axle weights (MAM).
Installation:
- Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or someone experienced in trailer wheel fitting.
- Ensure the wheel is torqued to the manufacturer's recommended settings.
Care:
