re: 8" wheels -
An 8" wheel is too small except for a short distance garden trailer. I got rid of the 8's and put new 12" wheels and tires on. Something many people don't realize is that tires can be worn out even with plenty of tread left - it's a matter of the rubber aging and UV damage.
I also added mud flaps to keep the crud off the back of the hull (full cover later).
I still don't get why you don't just throw them on the roof of the car =P
Then you can drive pretty much as fast as you like without any trouble, and you don't have to have a big stupid thing hanging behind your car =P
Nope - fits just right. There was really a lot of space around the stock fenders with the 8" wheel, to the point where they didn't do anything. The 12 is good. Doesn't hop on freeway bumps.Did you have any clearance issues with the fenders when going to a larger tire?
I find it quite on topic as he might not be aware that transporting it on the roof is a quite viable solution, and in that case he might waste money that could have been better spent elsewhere.you know josef, the thread is about trailers that we use and like, not putting the boat on your roof. we have all used the roof at times. i used my roof alot in the past, but now i have a trailer and it's great. if you want to to discuss cartopping, start a thread about the subject.
