The original wheels provided with the trailer were pretty dismal and did not include a spare, so it was decided that the wheels would be upgraded to a larger size and better quality. The old wheels had 8" rims, so we went with 12", which gives just over 20" diameter with the tire and increases the ground clearance to about 9". Larger wheels also improve handling and decrease the wear on the hub bearings at highway speeds. The current plan is the mount the spare on the side of the tongue box, although we are planning on rearranging heavy items such as the spare to get the tongue weight ideal.
