Wastin Time Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hi ppls, Can i get some feedback on the following (refer to attached pic) I want to change rim/tyre size from the current 9" - 13" would i be able to do a straight swap of rims or am i up for new hubs? Stud centres are about 63-65mm for memory. The current rims are those velor or something like that Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wettingaline Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 As long as the stud pattern is the same you will be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Do u have enuf room under them mudguards? Remember u have to allow for suspension travel. penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wettingaline Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Do u have enuf room under them mudguards? Remember u have to allow for suspension travel. penguin There will be plenty of room, the larger rims will (need to) have lower profile tyres so the rolling diamater of the wheel stays the same or and inch larger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wastin Time, why do you want to do this exercise when your rolling diameter will be the same? I mean, what's to gain? Tuffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 the only real benifit of changing your rims is the fact that a 13" tyre will be about half the price of a 9/10" tyre. all in all is it really worth it when was the last time you actually had to replace the tyres on your trailer??? yes it can be done and if you go to any trailer shop they will be able to give you all the advice you need. cheers T-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wastin Time Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Thanks for all your responses ppl's! I have decided to leave it the way it is. I thought it would be a bit safer with the lager dia. wheels. I have a 5M quinnie sitting on the trailer & it just looked like the wheels are too small, but i dont think there is too much to worry about?!?!?
