Explorer
OK guys, I have a LV-416 explorer trailer (made by Sierra 4x4 trailers - not the current Sierra 4x4 trailer company, but the one that went out of business years ago).
I want to replace the current 5 lug wheels with a couple of 6 lug 80 series landcruiser wheels.
Every trailer place I called in the Nashville area tell me that if I just swap out the 5 lug hubs for 6 lug hubs, I wont be able to get a set of bearings that will fit.
Ive seen how guys on here have put 6 lug wheels on old M416 trailers and the like, so why does this seem like such a pain in the ***?
Do I have to get a new axle, should I just use a 5 to 6 lug adapter, or can I just change out the hubs?
Thanks
edit: trailer also has trailer brakes - not sure if that matters or not
