Okie,
My trailer came from the factory with 7k axles and the 16" GY tires. However, the previous owner ordered it equipped with the larger brake drums. I don't know if this changeout would work for any MS that came out in 2005. For less than I spent on the changeout, the original owner could have had all the upgrades when ordered???? Don't know where the breakdown came in the dealer/factory system that let the trailer out the door with only 185lb of cargo capacity!!!

I took a lug nut to the tire dealer--he assured me if I had those lugs, the wheels would fit. Got a different story from Dexter--they said they never put the larger brakes on the smaller axles. This info kept me worried until I actually put the wheel on--and it fit perfectly.
