5 on 5 1/2 to 5 on 4 1/2

[wndrlst]

I bought an M-416 1/4 ton military trailer to pull behind the Jeep but I need to convert the bolt pattern to 5 on 4 1/2 so it's the same as the Jeep. I've hear that it's easy to obtain a different hub with the correct bolt pattern , but the local trailer shop to me was'nt able to help me. Anybody have any suggestions?? I don't want to go the wheel spacer route as I feel that may push rims with 3 3/4 b/s out too far, and I did'nt want to run dual pattern rims as they would be different that the Jeeps. I know I have options but those I just mentioned are after the hub option. Thanks in advance jeepers.

I'm not familiar with the spindle setup on those trailers but you could just take it down to a shop and have the pattern redrilled on the hubs. Depends on what they look like but most places are anywhere from $25-$50 each.

Here's a trailer tech site that you'll love...search for a build thread from Exiled (Henry). He's got the sweetest M416 i ever saw, and he mentions a cheap source for the hub assemblies for the M416/M100/M101CDN.
