I recently got a used pontoon bunk trailer that's really tall (28") and really long (35' overall)...
I have a really shallow launch area and am thinking about lowering it.
Trailer currently has 14" rims and rather tall 75-series tires that are 26" in diameter.
Trailer is tandem axle.
My question is...
Would putting wide 10" rims with 20.5/8-10 tires, E-load, (20.5" overall diameter) be advisable?
I would get 3" lower with 10" rims. Not a lot, but the fenders could come down with these and so could the bunks, giving me 4-5 inches total.
I'm curious if a long trailer is workable with this wheel setup (have yet to see a long trailer w/ 10" wheels)... wondering if things might have very little room to tilt, etc...
Anyway, I do not ever plan on taking this down the highway. I live right next to the lake and the only travel would be to a marina about 5 miles away.
Thanks in advance....
