Axle length
could anyone please advise me on how to obtain the correct length for a trailer Axle. the width of my trailer is 1630mm.I have tried to ask people who supply axles for trailer but they are reluctant to give a measurement but prefer if you suply an overall length they will make to suit. Any assistant will be appreciated. Note I would like to install a heavy duty axle 45 or 50 mm square bar with ford bearings.
thanks Tigershark

The wheel offset is the last measurement I need to get your axle length. And is the 1630mm the chassis width, or the overall?

Yonnee. The actual chassis width is 1630mm from the outside to outside. I will have to get back to you on the offset for the wheels. As I own a Toyota 4x4.I was thinking of using Toyota hubs with Sunraysia rims

No worries. All the 6 stud patterns are the same for all commercial models, Toyota, Nissan, Holden, Mitsubishi, etc.

So if you're wanting to use the 4X4's rims as spares on the trailer and vice-versa, then make sure you get the right wheels that'll suit your tow vehicle first. That way we can get the axle length right to suit.
