[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 475257, member: 22613"] The trailer under my 17' Tracker also has 1 1/6" bearings with 13" wheels. I don't think you have anything to worry about there. The wheels and tires are unsprung weight anyway, as long as they have the same offset/backspacing as the stock ones, additional wear should be inconsequential. Whatever you do it is always wise to bring a spare loaded hub along with your spare tire, especially on a single axle trailer. You can buy a Chinese hub assembly on eBay for practically nothing, especially when compare to a tow bill. [/QUOTE]
