Wheel spacers on a trailer
I have a small 4x8 utility trailer with the 5.30x12 tires. They're about 6 years old, made in China, and I'm thinking it's time to replace them. What I'd like to do is put 175/80D-13 tires on it, ...

1750 lb axle? Wow, that's light.
It's probably more than sufficient for a 4x8 utility trailer.
Yeah, just was surprised and wasn't thinking about it. Had a brain fart. I have a similar size trailer and mine weighs 995 unloaded but my axle is rated at 3500 lbs. But I haul gravel and bark dust with it, so it needs the extra strength. It's not a dump trailer though. OP's trailer must be one of those small frame trailers for hauling plywood or a lawn tractor. You're correct. That axle would be fine for that trailer.
