We are trying to figure out which is the best way to go about it. The trailer frame was given to us (see hello from Goleta, newbies). The trailer frame is an old trailer frame for a 4’ x 8’ trailer (Zagelmeyer) and the wheels are old Ford wheels (have one hubcap with Ford logo on it and one rusty fender). We are going with the Kit 47 shape of teardrop. In working out the particulars my husband, David, noticed the wheels are 16 inch. The wheels themselves David likes as they are wire spoke, but their size creates a problem. To use those wheels we would have to move the door closer to the front of the teardrop by about 4 inches or so depending on how much room needs to be allowed for the fender, going by the one old fender we have. How much room should one allow for the fender? Or is it better to get new wheels that are smaller, like 14 inch? Being that they [img]are old Ford wheels, would it be a problem getting new wheels? How does one measure for bolt pattern or for whatever information is needed to figure out what wheels would fit?
Any advice or information you can give would be greatly appreciated. Martha
