A little work to do on the road, but it is possible but it is a two or three man job unless you have a hoist. If simply sliding the tire all the way in on the axel is not enough, remove the tire and cast center from the axel and reverse the wheel. Reinstall the reversed wheel at a setting narrow enough for your trailer. Do this on both sides (only if you have to). Remember if the tires are full of water or salt they are very heavy and you may need a hoist to move the tires. Do not lay tires down but lean them against a stable surface. If you do not feel comfortable doing this you may wish to pay the local tire store that sells tractor tires to do it for you. If you do not have a hoist to carry along and the seller can't help, you may wish to go to a local rental place and get one for the job. Should the tires be filled with water only, you may wish to remove the water for shipping. It would make your work easier.

There is a trick to moving tires on an axel by removing the bottom wedge completely and leaning the tire over while letting the jack down. Once leaned in the direction you wish to move the tire jack the axel up until the tire is picked up. Don't get greedy and only move the tire a couple of inches each time. If you are having to work alone it may be only an inch at a time. When you jack it up it will move to the new center location. Repeat this until the center is where you want it to be. This is tricky and normally requires two people for tires the size on the M.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
