Kenda® 12" Steel Trailer MOD Wheels (12x4JA / -.5 Offset / 3.19 Pilot) - Pick Your Color

Heavy-Duty Kenda® 12x4 Negative-Offset (-0.50") Steel Modular (MOD) Replacement Trailer Wheels — Select Your Finish!

When your trailer demands increased inner clearance, a broader stance, or an upgrade in payload capacity, this 12" Negative-Offset Steel Modular (MOD) trailer wheel from Kenda® / Americana Tire and Wheel is the heavy-duty answer. Built from high-strength roll-formed steel, this model steps up to a formidable 1,520 lb load rating per wheel, giving you the extra structural muscle needed for demanding boat, pontoon, snowmobile, and utility trailer applications.

Featuring an engineered -0.50" (-1/2" negative) offset, this wheel pushes the tire centerline outward away from the trailer frame and suspension leaf springs, eliminating inner sidewall rub on wider hulls and specialized frames. With a standard 5-on-4.5" (5x4.5) bolt circle and a 3.19" center bore, it serves as a direct, rugged replacement across major trailer brands. Choose from four durable protective finishes: hot-dipped Galvanized (HD) for saltwater and boat ramp protection, e-coated Gloss Black, Silver powder coat, or classic White with accent striping.

PLEASE NOTE: Wheel only, tire NOT included! Double-check your trailer hub's bolt pattern (5 on 4.5"), center pilot bore (3.19"), and negative offset requirement (-0.50") before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Steel vs. Aluminum Trailer Wheels: Comparison Guide

• Steel Wheels (Strength, Value & Heavy Payloads): Steel wheels deliver superior brute impact resistance and the highest load ratings at an economical price point. While heavier and requiring a durable finish (such as hot-dipped galvanizing or e-coating) to prevent corrosion, steel will bend rather than crack under harsh curb strikes or deep road hazards.
• Aluminum Wheels (Corrosion Defense & Weight): Aluminum alloy wheels are naturally rust-proof and reduce unsprung rotating mass for easier towing efficiency and fuel savings. However, alloy wheels carry a higher initial cost and are more susceptible to hairline cracking under severe overload or rocky impacts.
