Is it possible to use trailer wheels on the LUV? I have found several nice wheels with the correct bolt pattern but im not sure if there's something Im not thinking about. Thanks

As long as the center hole is the needed size and the lug pattern works, sure, why not?

wheels from a trailer that fit a auto, yes thats just fine.


tires that are rated for trailer service NO, DO NOT USE TRAILER TIRES ON A AUTO :!:

where car tires have a P, or truck tires have LT, trailer tires have a ST stamp, at least the ones ive seen have.

Check the load rating on the wheels and generally no don't use trailer wheels on a auto But I have trailer wheels that are rated 2850 lbs. and i am going to run them on my LUV 4X4 but i sure as hell would not run them on a full size as they will break the centers out on hard turns. at least that is what i am told and will abide by that but a luv 4x4 is about 2900 lbs. so i will run them.

Oh I'm sure there will be a lot of ideas on this mater.
