So I bought two 17.5 inch bud wheels for my M105a2 trailer. The are not a perfect fit. Upon cleaning and installing them, I found a gap between the trailer hub and the wheel. It's not much, (.007) but anything is too much under a load. I am going to correct this by making a spacer out out 1/4 inch aluminum plate. The issue is that the inner diameter of the rim hits the drum. If you don't use a feeler gauge you wouldn't see it. Just figured I'd pass on my findings. I also found a big truck yard in Maryland that has plenty of good 17.5's and 19.5 inch wheels and other needed parts. R L Jackson is the name. 1 (410) 336-3379 is the phone number. Good people to deal with.
