Pop up wheel question

[Calvin]

Can someone answer this please, I have a old pop up that has 12 inch wheels on it 4 lug, do they make a 14 inch 4 lug wheel that will work?
Thank you very much.

To my knowledge the 14" wheels are all 5 lug.
But even if you find 14" wheels with 4 lugs you might find that the 14" weight rating of apx 1760 pounds per tire to high for your PU. The higher weight rating compared to your small 12 inchers can make the trailer act like it was on solid concrete tires and literally bounce off the road at expansion joints and skitter around corners. Folks forget how much the tires themselves are a goodly part of the suspension of a towable.
If you do find some automotive wheels with 4 lugs check the offset as ALL trailer wheels come with zero offset which means the lug plate is centered in the wheel. Automotive wheels often come wigh a positive or negative offset and that will move the wheel in or out in the wheel well and in most cases you end up interfering with something.

Check that you will have clearance in the wheel well.  Usually you have to flip your axle to put bigger tires on a PU.

I have seen other PUP owners find out what cars have the same bolt pattern and use those. I read an article a little bit ago about a guy with an older colman(also 4 lug) who bought rims for a Honda and put tires on it.. worked great!

//www.northerntool.com has a nice selection of trailer wheels and tires.

If you have room to go automotive, VW and Audi used to use 4 bolt wheels on 14" diameter.  The patterns were 4 x 100mm for the VW's and 4 x 108mm for the Audi, and both took a 185/60-14 tire.

I'm not sure what the SAE measurment is for 4 bolt trailer wheels.

I don't know if this would work, but you could also upgrade to a spindle and hub that had a bolt pattern or number of lugs (5) that would fit a larger trailer wheel.  The hubs are cheap to buy, and again, Northern Tool would be a good place to shop/learn.

Thanks everyone I appreciate your answers.  What I have is a old pop up not sure what brand but years ago I tore it all apart and built a regular trailor to haul things on.  I cut the frame on both sides and removed the sides so the tires would be on the outside for easier changing if I had a flat.  That made the trailor 54 inches between the tires and the length is 12 feet.  The little 12 inch wheels arent quite large enough for what I need to haul.
thanks again.
