    Question Trailer wheels - buy from other source or BC?

    Can I use new trailer wheels from another source or are they a special size that can only be purchased from BassCat? The BC wheels seem very expensive and I want to replace my fenders as well and looking to save some money. Thanks.

    A wheel is a wheel, just make sure they are the same bolt pattern.

    Gotta match (or at least some close proximity) offset as well, keep from rubbing frame and/or fender.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere recently that BCB wheels are special order items with a specific offset. Most trailer wheels have a 0 offset.

    I am in the same boat (pun intended) as the OP. Would like to update my 2007 wheels, but don't want to spend $1K to do it.

    After doing some searching on BCB and here on BBC, I found specs from 0 offset to -19mm offset. Looks to depend on the year of the trailer in question...
